A time horizon, also known as a planning horizon, is a fixed point of time in the future at which point certain processes will be evaluated or assumed to end.

Thanks, Wikipedia*. 

*Do you remember when we used to quote the Oxford English dictionary? 

Time Horizon 

It's really just a fancy pants term for goal setting.

Something I know a little bit about. 

I’ve often said that a goal is just a dream without a date on it.

 

The all important date.

Or the new fancy pants; Time Horizon.  

But there's a little more to it than that. 

I've noticed that people who are good at achieving their goals are usually excellent at overcoming procrastination.  

 
They set their time horizon/goal and then become relentless at getting over the line.  

Something has been niggling me about Time Horizon.

The problem with a horizon is as you move closer... it moves.  

That’s why I like the term ‘Getting it over the line’ for achieving your goal.

When it's done... it's done. 

 
What are you getting over the line? 

I’ll send a copy of my book How to Be Brilliant, which contains the ultimate goal setting guide, for our favourite comment.
