Distractions are in the here and now.  Long term goals are in the there and then.  

       

The quickest way to do many things is to do one thing at a time.

       
Do you know how long should you expect to focus on one job?        
Do you want to focus on the short-term payoff or on the long term payoff.        

You can choose long-term goals for the there and then.  But you can only focus on what you are doing in the here and now. 

       
Do you want to focus on the work or the result?        

How will you know when you are finished?  

       

What will you do with the result?  

       
Planning is what you use to connect your long-term goals into what you can do right now.        
Mark this on 4 weekends, with different marks.  Notice changes.
