Agree completely Andrew! I do long term planning as my 'Why' type thinking. These are very big lofty ideas. Things like - Retire from my W2 in 10 years. Take steps to have 'passive' income to cover expenses in 5 year. Travel to Australia, Alaska, etc. I may revisit these ideas annually or less frequently, depends on how life happens. Then I do make Yearly goals that are also broad but specific. Increase Networth by $100k. Or increase passive cashflow by $100/month. Read 10 business books. Be more present for my wife and kids, etc. These generally align with the 'Why'. Then I do weekly goals. Some of the weekly might be a bit tactical, but in general I'm thinking of my goals and tapping myself towards those bigger outcomes. I may fall off the wagon for a week or two, but have found I always come back to it.

Consistency is key, absolutely. And sure, we all fall off the wagon from time to time but overall, consistency is the way to success.
