Time horizon

Generally we overestimate what we can accomplish in the short term and underestimate what we can successfuly accomplish in the long term.  Moving from daily lists to a one year plan helps this.  Moving to a 3-year or a 5-year plan is even better.

Also bigger is better when it comes to goal setting and planning.  Be heady, wild and audacious when you set your goals.  Provide yourself a worthy challenge.

    Good Day, I do not normally post feedback on web sites, as I prefer to read only. However I find the post that you have created earlier has very insightful information, and I discover it very informative. I was searching on Yahoo for how to set goals ideas & discovered your unique web site. Could you write something on how to set goals? Thank you. ~ Geraldine Klawitter
