attainables

Things within reach

Things that can be achieved or obtained.

The term appears most often in goal-setting and planning contexts, distinguishing realistic objectives from aspirations that may be out of reach: Let's focus on the attainables first.

Sometimes used with gentle irony about lowered expectations: I've given up on dreams—now I stick to attainables.
