I heard something many years ago that is somewhat parallel—always have SMART goals and SMART plans. S: Sustainable in terms of effort if the goal will take more than a brief flash, M: measureable so you know where you are and whether what you are doing is working, A:achievable in terms of having a goal that has a chance of being achieved, R: rewarding in the sense that the sacrifices to achieve the goal are rewarding to the person achieving and the persons close to that person, and T: together in the sense that the goal has united the team such that it is not just one person.
