>Description :
Balanced people often find a middle ground between focusing on their current activities and a distant goal. They are likely to need regular, short-term achievements within a longer-term focus. They help coworkers or teammates stay on track with a goal, but can also switch gears if the goal is no longer viable. Given their desire for clarity about the direction and outcome of a project, they can point out when a goal is becoming too costly or risky. Balanced Timeframe Orientation can be very helpful in jobs requiring relationship building, such as developing community coalitions across diverse interest groups.
>Easier :
1.Keeping distant goals in mind while adjusting to current circumstances
2.Enjoying the process while being motivated by the end result
3.Helping to remind others of a goal
4.Grabbing unexpected opportunities while staying the course in the face of challenges or obstacles
>Difficult :
1.Working toward a distant goal when the tasks along the way aren't rewarding
2.Having enough daily and weekly tasks for closure while focusing on a more distant goal
3.Creating a more distant goal while focused on too many short-term tasks
>Results Show :
1.Your natural sense of time keeps one eye on the present and one eye on the future.
2.You’re happiest when you include both a valued long-term goal and also specific, short-term deadlines that will move you down that road.
3. In a group effort, your time sense might help others stay steady and focused: you can nudge those who get stuck in the daily details and you can bring the dreamier planners back to earth.
>Aptitude Awareness :
You're at your best when you have a distant goal, the finish line, with room for closure - the swim, bike, and run - along the way. You naturally envision goals within one to five years and you are able to put off instant gratification for the bigger picture. You may need a sense of closure in your daily and weekly activities, so goals further than about five years away may frustrate you. If you have too many short-term goals (within a year) to work toward you may lack a sense of purpose.
>Tips :
1.Having a structured plan can be critical for you to achieve immediate or long-range goals.
2.Have two or three goals in mind with different time lines so you do not complete them all at once.
3.Have a few distant goals to go along with your daily accomplishments.
4.Grab unexpected opportunities while also reaching for idealistic or "stretch" goals.
5.Look for opportunities that reward flexibility in goal achievement.
