I believe that a short term goal is something that you can accomplish soon, for example: I want to start working out, so tomorrow I will wake up and go to the gym. They usually dont take a whole lot of effort. Long terms goals could take months or years. Usually people will make a list of short term goals that will lead them to their long term goal. Example: Im going to start working out 3x a week so I can win a weight lifting competition or be on the cover of maxim magazine.

Short-term goals are ones that you will achieve in the near future (e.g., in a day, within a week, or possibly within a few months).
Long-term goals are ones that you will achieve over a longer period of time (e.g., one semester, one year, five years, or twenty years).

Long-term goals often are our most meaningful and important goals. One problem, however, is that the achievement of these goals is usually far in the future. As a result, we often have trouble staying focused and maintaining a positive attitude toward reaching these goals. This is why it is helpful to set up what we call enabling goals.
