I’ve found some use in having a “vision document”, which is essentially a written explanation of the person I want to be / goal I want to accomplish. If it’s possible to add images, those help too. The more complete the vision, the better.

By reading this every day with my morning coffee, I help re-orient myself and remember the path I was on. Without it, I tend to drift.

How long-term your vision is? Is it 1-year or 10-year or maybe 30-year? I have met a guy who had a vision for 50 years ahead - sound crazy but works for him.

I’d like to think I have a 20-year Vision, but that inevitably changes :)

One, five, and ten years seem like good markers for me.
