See Balance.

Simon Sinek recently wrote a book called "The Infinite Game."

I've heard his speech on "Infinite Games," and I am sure the book follows the same lines.

The premise is, think long-term to achieve short-term results. To be mission-oriented instead of results-oriented.

As I reflect on the past, I believe I made the fail of being too mission-oriented - I didn't leverage the short term, I didn't think in 10s. Lesson learned.

Seeing only the long game doesn't help, but seeing only the short can be ruinous.

Today, do your best to balance long-term gains and short-term wins.

If you can find, and keep, the balance you'll make better decisions.
