You could just restrict the set of options, or make the option the intention to follow through with the action, which may fail (and backfire, e.g. burnout), so adjust your expectations keeping failure in mind.
Or attach some probability of actually doing each action, and hold that for any positive EV shorttermist option, there’s a much higher EV longtermist option which isn’t much less likely to be chosen (it could be the same one for each, but need not be).
