Open Thread: How much strategic thinking have you done recently?

Emile

I'm tired of people never, ever, ever, EVER stopping 2 hours to 1) Think of what their goals are 2)Checking if their current path leads to desired goals 3)Correcting course and 4)Creating a system to verify, in the future, whether goals are being achieved. I'm really tired of that. Really.

Have you thought about your life goals recently?
Do you know what your long-term and medium-term goals are?
If you're facing big problems or annoyances, have you thought of ways of solving them?
Do you have a system you use regularly that pushes you in the right direction?

I do all three! Except I'm falling behind on the "look for ways to solve problems" part, for reasons that usually turn into horrible emotastic essays on livejournal that are statistically indistinguishable from normal whining. So I expect the same reaction that normal whining gets--which is to say, nothing ... (read more)

Not necessarily. They might say it's too big to solve, or "it's not really a big deal" when it obviously is, or that it's not their responsibility to solve, or any of multum other excuses that validate not changing.
