Balance Short- and Long-Term Goals

A goal is something you want to achieve. Short-term goals are things you can accomplish soon — today, this week, or within a month. Long-term goals take much longer — months or even years of effort. Balancing both types of goals helps you make progress every day while keeping your eyes on a bigger dream.
