"A" or "para" with verbs of motion?

Here is a screenshot of what my Portuguese teacher sent me.Para%3AA%20preposic%CC%A7a%CC%83o%20de%20movimento

I remember the difference by the duration of the movement. A is for short durations and Para for longer ones. A is a shorter word than Para, that’s how I remember the difference. The other uses for A/Para still confuse me sometimes (destination, directions…)
