Short-term goals, long-term goals, decisions and choices. What to do?
Have your goals, and yes, write them down. The short-term goals should get you to your long-term goal, but keep your eye on the long-term goal, as if you were jumping hurdles. The long-term goal is the line to cross at the end, and the short-term goals are the hurdles. If you stop and look at each hurdle you're trying to cross, well, you know what will happen.
