Thinking about fundamental objectives and means objectives isrelatively easy when the decision context is narrow (buying atelescope, renting an apartment, choosing a restaurant for dinner).But, when you start thinking about your strategic objectives --objectives in the context of what you choose to do with your lifeor your career -- the process becomes more difficult. Spend sometime thinking about your fundamental strategic objectives. What doyou want t accomplish in your life or your career? Why are theseobjectives important?
Try to create a fundamental objectives hierarchy and a meansobjective network for yourself. Obviously this will change overtime and as your career and personal situation changes, but, it isan interesting exercise to undertake.
