@kowdermeister2018 · in “Ask HN: How do you organize/track your personal goals?”

That should be the real question. All else is just a consequence of being motivated enough to achieve that particular goal. You are probably fine already, but if you feel that you want more, I would suggest to get some inspiration from a new paradigm you never did before. I've seen this lately, and while he did come up with rather random looking goals, it seems it doesn't matter what they are if you devote yourself fully to them. ▶ this video

It works for me, too. The inspiration was from this TED talk: ▶ this video . The idea of marginal adjustment is both simple and powerful.
