I like the "goals versus systems" philosophy that Scott Adams espouses: http://blog.dilbert.com/2013/11/18/goals-vs-systems/ http://blog.dilbert.com/2013/11/18/goals-vs-systems/. I find it more enjoyable and less stressful to use systems rather than establish goals: exercise aerobically a few times a week rather than run 5k in MM:SS time.
