Short-term thinking wins weekends. Long-term thinking wins decades.

Both time frames are real and they pull against each other constantly. Choosing what feels good tonight is a decision about tonight, which is fine some of the time. It stops being fine when every night runs on the same logic and ten years arrive with nothing stacked up behind them.

Aim for a ratio rather than a rule. Keep your weekends, and pick two or three weekday decisions that belong to the longer version of you. Steadiness there is what makes room for everything else.
