This is spot on. I actually just made a long-term decision today for my newsletter. I'm going to go down to one post per week instead of two. I think it will be more sustainable and hopefully a better read.

Keeping what you're doing sustainable is what will allow you to keep going in the long term.

I have just started to have a slot on a Monday for resurfacing posts from the early days and cross posting other great newsletter posts.

This has helped me up my cadence with minimal extra effort.

It's a great way to give old content new life. When did you first begin this site?

Wisely said......especially on your point about incorporating both short term (action that is required now) and long term (vision) types of thinking and decision making in our lives....instead of viewing it as short term vs long term; both concepts are indeed important and relevant to us.

Totally right. You can’t have one without the other.

The danger of falling into thinking about the medium term is you start to make decisions that are going to limit the longevity of what you’re trying to do.

Interesting post, thank you! As you suggest, the UK is a good example of a country which does very little long-term planning.
