I need help on matching the rationale to the goal setting step:

1. The goal is a broad-based projection.-Write a general statement.
2. The goal is a purpose.-Create a timeline.
3. The goal should be assessed.-Create a measurable scale.

Is this correct?

These look right to me.

(Objectives are the individual steps taken to reach a goal. Goals are general, just as you have written above. Objectives are much more specific within each goal.)

No, the rationale you provided does not match the goal setting steps accurately. To correctly match the rationale to the goal setting step, here's the correct correspondence:

1. The goal is a broad-based projection. - Create a general statement.
2. The goal is a purpose. - Write a purpose statement.
3. The goal should be assessed. - Create a measurable scale.

Here's a brief explanation of each step:

1. Creating a general statement: In this step, you define your overall, broad-based goal in a concise statement. It should be clear and provide a general direction of what you want to achieve.

2. Writing a purpose statement: Once you have your general goal, you need to create a purpose statement. This statement helps you understand the specific reasons behind the goal, the intention or motivation behind it.

3. Creating a measurable scale: To assess progress towards your goal, you need to make it measurable. This involves establishing specific criteria or metrics that can be used to evaluate and track your progress objectively.

By aligning these steps correctly, you can successfully set goals that are clear, purposeful, and measurable, enabling you to track your progress effectively.
