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. |

|
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. |
