The first best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is today. But if you have to pick a thing to do 20 years ago, it is to invent a tree-planting machine. But if you have to pick a thing to do 200 years ago, it is be Johnny Appleseed.

It's funny. My snap emotional reaction to "Consider whether what you are doing today will have 200 year out impact" is "Oh you're probably getting big for your britches there" but given that is also most common response people give me to the 20 year impact question, I doubt it.

(It's waaaaaaay easier to have a 20 year impact than people model it as. "Write stuff down" gets you like half of the way there and "Make sure stuff is where interested people will read it" is the other half, and the second part gets easier over time due to search/etc.)
