A deadline implies short term to me. In my understanding, short term is |
| 13 |
something where there's a deadline or similar requirement, and long |
| 14 |
term is "sometime in the future, but no hurry". The dictionary [1] tends |
| 15 |
to agree: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
short-term adj 1. of, for or extending over a limited period. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
But, if you'd rather I didn't use that term: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If there's some value to be found in having PMS ready by a particular |
| 22 |
date that I'm missing then I want to hear it so that I can spend more |
| 23 |
time working on PMS and less on other things. |
