Process goals and Outcome goals

In 'Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience', Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi refers to large goals as 'outcome' goals and small goals as 'process goals'. The beauty of process goals is that they are always in your immediate power to achieve. For example, you might set a process goal of making 5 important sales calls before lunch. Process goals give you total focus. When you are constantly setting process goals, you are more in control of your day, and feel a sense of self-motivation. At the end of the week, you can check your progress towards your outcome goals. It is also important to tweak your process goals to take you closer to your outcome goals and keep them in harmony.
