🎯 Two timescales. Long-term sets the direction. Short-term moves the needle this month.
💡 A few pointers before you write
- Tie each goal back to your 1-year vision. If a goal doesn't ladder up to that picture, ask why it's here.
- Make each goal specific enough that you'd recognize when you hit it. Replace "get in shape" with something measurable like "deadlift 315" or "run a 5K in 25 minutes."
- Three to five long-term goals. Past that, the list dilutes.
- One sentence per goal. Anything longer gets skipped.
- Short-term goals serve your long-term goals. If this month's three don't move next quarter's needle, rebuild them.
🏔️ Long-term goals (6–12 months)
3 to 5 goals. Major outcomes that move you toward your 1-year vision.
🚀 Short-term goals (this month)
3 goals. The ones that move your long-term goals forward.
