I think tiny goals are important. Helps get you closer to getting to the big goal.

For example - Our biggest goal right now is to find us a block of land that we can build a house on. For this to not completely consume me, I focus on smaller tasks. Organising DD2's birthday party. Saving up to buy a new bed.

In the time it has taken to organise these smaller tasks, I feel closer to the bigger goal. And the bigger goal is within reach, we are actively looking for our future home. But the smaller ones keep me busy and keep my head out of real estate dot com!!!!

That's my spin on it!
