4. Establish Near And Not Too Distant Goals

In uncertainty, setting goals is even more valuable!  Align goals with your vision and stay flexible about outcomes.

Use the Career Planning Worksheet or your journal to answer:

  • What 4–5 specific, short-term actions can you take soon? (Include timelines.)
  • What 4–5 medium-term actions can you plan for next?
  • If freelance or contract work is an option, what steps would help you pursue it?

Stay focused, flexible, and action-oriented.
