Looking for a solution now. Long-term goals have been hard for me to keep up, cause often there are lots of distractions along the way as well as circumstances are constantly changing. However, I came up with this pattern with my family that worked pretty good so far: - writing down goals/wants/needs by project/life-area - prioritizing the most important ones - writing them down by days so far the above simple approach works. The key is to have a layout by the calendar. Oh, and bonus tip, if it's something super quick, like "to make a phone call.." for example, I try to do it instantly.
