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?

yes. I tend to reevaluate goals frequently (at least weekly)
yes to the extent of future uncertainty. I am free to change my goals at any point, after all.
yes... (obviously?) I'm having a hard time understanding how anyone could not do that.
if you would call it "a system", I try to restate nearest action that brings me closer to achieving my goal every day. More often than not the action is "wait" (until you acquire enough money/power/influence to make something happen, until you have enough information to make a decision, etc...)

(in reply to "If you're facing big problems or annoyances, have you thought of ways of solving them?")

Well, a pretty frequent alternative is complaining a lot and looking for sympathy. Another is blaming someone else.
