Love this Jak! I usually balance pretty well between the two, but I have noticed in the last 6 months that my short terms goals induce a lot of stress, which is detrimental to my productivity in general.
It’s also very important to set attainable and realistic goals, that took me a really long time to learn.
I am now setting long term goals, and my short term goals are the steps to get there, I also use “the shelf”, which is a technique to lower stress caused by short term goals.
Basically you set your goal, work towards it and once you reached the daily amount of time you can dedicate to that goal, you put it on the shelf and don’t think about it until the time comes again.
Otherwise, I’ve spent many sleepless nights worrying about not meeting goals in time or having too much to do etc.
