Long-term targets

We all have targets, right? And we all know we should keep those targets short -termed to ensure their relevance, that they are easy to track and to ensure progression.

But that underestimates the magic of thinking long-term and setting additional targets that way - the short-term targets ensure progression, but "to what?", right? After all, as we Portuguese say, "Rome and Pavia weren't made in a day".

Bill Gates has a different way to put it: "Most people overestimate what they can do in one year but underestimate what they can do in ten years".

So, go forth - think about where you (or your project) want to be in 5 to 10 years time... and set them as your long-term targets and objectives.
