 Intentions and goals: what's their difference?
Steve often talk about goals and also often about intentions. I think I understand goals. They are supposed to be measurable and have a time frame attached to them. But what about intentions? What properties must something have to be viable as an intention? Let's try to list some properties: positive (i.e., not containing the word "not" or other negations), related to myself, .... However, noting this, there does not seem to be much difference between goals and intentions. What actually is their difference? When one removes the time frame from a goal, does one obtain an intention?
