"makes the goal real"
which goal-setting step is described by this sentence?

write it down
locate resources
identify obstacles
set a time line
check in on your progress

The answer is Write it down on edgeniuty :)

The correct answer is the following: option a.  Writing down any type of goal is one of the most important goal-setting steps. When the person writes down the goal, it is making it real in some way. Although of course the person will now have to put on the work needed in order to fulfill that goal, the first step of writing it down has already be done, the goal is not real and official. This goal-setting step is a way to encourage the person to be serious about the goals he/she is achieving.
