Whatever goals you write down should be the goals you will have in mind regularly. So if you are going for a goal of becoming a billionaire within X number of years, it will be fine as long as it is in your mind constantly.
If it's not, then you'll want to focus on those goals that are. USLM focuses on what you consciously want, but it is best when you are constantly (or at least frequently) thinking about those goals. So short and medium term goals are often good choices.

Thanks
I have a major over-arching set of goals, and then I have medium term sub-goals, and then I break those down into short term goals. Sometimes, I break my short term goals down into even smaller steps.
This works, as long as you can keep everything in mind. Again, it focuses on your conscious goals and desires. So whatever it is you are most able to keep in mind on a regular basis.
@Shannon
How much time per day should we spend focusing on our goals? I know you said constantly but I am wondering specifically how often we should do it every day?
When I say "constantly", I don't mean you have that and everything else in your life might get a timeslice every few minutes or so. I mean, when you make a decision, you consider how it will impact your goals. You make your goals your top priority, unless you place your kids and or SO above those goals. But whenever I do something, I consider, "How will this impact my goals?"
It is in your mind frequently enough to be a major part of your decision making process, I suppose is the answer to your question, but it need not be all you ever think about.
Then again, depending on the goal and your level of execution, the reverse can also work. But for major, complex goals (which is what I have) you probably want to have that goal be in mind regularly.
