short-term planning
Near-future decision-making
Short-term planning is organizing activities for the immediate future—days, weeks, or at most a few months ahead.
It focuses on specific tasks and concrete goals rather than broad strategy: Short-term planning got us through the quarter, but we need a bigger vision.
The opposite of long-term planning, it prioritizes what's actionable now over what might matter later.
