Often the problem is not whether the solution is direct or not, but if it has long term benefits too, as opposed to being a shortterm stopgap.
One example is making money. Lets say I want to make an extra $100 a day. I could either:
A. Work back another 5 hours every day at work, arriving home at 11pm.
B. Work on an online business that will take a lot longer to get to this level, but won't require me working an extra 35 hours a week once its done.
How do you address this problem of short term gain vs long term rewards? as many times the direct solution is simply a short term solution to a problem.
