DEFINITION
Definition
Tactical works forward from the present. Strategic works backward from a desired endpoint to the present. This is distinct from short-term versus long-term thinking.
It's not the difference between short-term and long-term, or whether or not you're prepared.

Start from the state you want to reach and perform the necessary steps in reverse.

Tactical
Think about what you can do based on your current situation and what you can do next. It is a characteristic that the explanation of how to proceed tends to become a path leading from the current footing.
- When faced with a problem, plan actions that can be taken from the current situation and what can be done as a result.
- Explain the reasons for the plan, starting with the current conditions.
If you start here now, you can do this next time.
If you focus only on the path forward from now, you may not be able to confirm whether that path will lead you to your desired destination.
Strategic
Starting from the state you want to reach, think back to the conditions necessary to get there. It is a characteristic that the explanation of how to proceed tends to become a path from the goal back to the present.
- When faced with a task, plan the necessary steps based on the completion state and achievement conditions.
- Connect the reason for what you are doing now to the state you want to achieve in the end.
We need this before we can get there.
If you focus only on the route you have set up from your destination, you may not be able to confirm whether you can actually start from your current footing.
