At any given time I have goals for the next week, the next month, the next year, and the next four years. Periodically I'll spend some time reflecting and update the goals as new opportunities appear or major life transitions occur. Keeping the long-term goals in mind alongside shorter term goals is surprisingly helpful. So far this strategy has been pretty successful for me.
