Even if the world might go to shit, there's no reason not to try to make things better for yourself right now.
Personally, it's about working towards being happy in the present. Planning for the future makes me happier in the present because then I don't need to worry. Working makes me happier in the present because I can live the way I want. Short-term rewards work the best, so might as well focus on those. The important part is to rationalize your short-term goal such that they also contribute to the future.
