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.

... so we may want to remind and encourage each other to do so, and exchange tips!

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?

LW ought to be looking at you as if you were a strange alien lifeform. What, you're not a university student not yet out in The Economy, or an underachiever whose life was derailed by sci-fi dreams, or working for an "existential risk" or "effective altruism" charity? Tell us more about this strange world of "family and a good job" that you inhabit!

You might consider the possibility that he is unusual not in being a person with a fairly ordinary life, a family, and a good job, but in talking about it here on LW.

(Data point: I have a fairly ordinary life, a family, and a good job. I don't talk about them much on LW; why should I?)
