MODULE «HOW TO SET GOALS AND ACHIEVE THEM» TOPIC 3. «ACHIEVABLE & RELEVANT: WHY GOALS ARE ABANDONED» Stage 5. Mini Case 1

Read the situation and answer the question by choosing one of the suggested options. Focus not on the general wording, but on the logic itself: whether the result can be understood from the description, verified, and used as a guide for action.

Mini case
«The Bar Is Too High»

Situation:

A person sets a goal: «Achieve a perfect result within a month». During the first week, they work at maximum capacity, then start to feel tired, postpone tasks, and skip steps more often. After a couple of weeks, the goal is abandoned.

Question: What is the key reason?

Choose the correct answer:

A. Lack of discipline

B. The goal was unrealistic for sustainable progress

C. Lack of motivation

✅ Correct answer: B

An overly ambitious goal may inspire at the start, but quickly undermines sustainability. This is not laziness — it is a mismatch between the goal and the required effort over time.
