I make short and long term goals and I try to make them as adjustable as possible without making them easy to break. For example, my short term goal is to find a job in the business administration field within 2 months. My long term goal is to be in a position of leadership by year five of being in the business administration position. These two goals feed off of each other and can be changed ever so slightly but not completely replaced unless I meet the goals and need to make new ones.
