I've gotten to a point where to me "results-oriented" is a four letter word. It's just a bad way to go about your life. Both for your sanity, and because it's more often than not just a wrong-headed way of thinking.
I often have to remind myself that life is a series of processes interspersed with end-points, if you don't enjoy the process of getting to those endpoints you'll basically live in a series of panics.
