elfs | [Life Hack] Organizing on the horizon

As odd as it sounds, I rarely have any idea of what I'm doing on a week-by-week basis. You would think that the week would be the ideal unit of measure against which to target one's own progress, but I rarely have any idea what I want to accomplish within that seven-day period. I know I have long-term goals, and I have immediate actions that get me to those goals, but there's an intermediate step I'm missing. Merlin has, of course, leant his opinion to the matter, but I'm still not sure what it is I'm doing with this. I don't have the instincts to say, "Okay, by Friday I'll have X done" and know that I can actually make it that far. Most of my work is creative and a real insight to how effective I'll be even as I push the boundaries of what's possible with software and web dev is sometimes very elusive.
