What are the differences between long-term and short-term planning?

What are the differences between long-term and short-term planning?

Long-term planning focuses on goals and strategies that span several years, while short-term planning is more immediate, often covering days to months.

Can you give me examples of each?

Sure! An example of long-term planning is setting a 5-year career goal, while short-term planning could be creating a weekly schedule to meet project deadlines.

Which one is more important?

Both are important! Long-term planning provides direction, while short-term planning helps you stay on track and adapt to changes.

How can I balance both types of planning?

You can balance them by setting clear long-term goals and breaking them down into actionable short-term tasks, regularly reviewing your progress.
