having been bitten by this in the past, im curious how you manage your ongoing targets. backlog style? i usually have a few different target areas (health, work, learning, etc) that are all on different timelines so unless i am constantly monitoring cumulative progress one ends up falling off and things cascade from there.
Yeah I just write a list down and pick one that's achievable based on current finances, situation, motivation and desires. I add them to the list as I think about them.
To note I never mix my work objectives with personal ones. That can lead to all sorts of problems as I learned over the last 20 years or so.
