What about setting the goal as a "routine" instead of an end result? e.g. Every week, jog 3 times, each for 10 km. Instead of running a full marathon by year 2021. That way the process itself is the pursuit and you can only achieve more and more. For me, coding itself falls in this category that I have yet to grow tired of
- blamestross 6y agoThat is how you win. You achieve the "big goals" via obsessive habits. But those things are not the same as "I've reached as far into my career, education, relationships, and economic gains as I ever had a passion to do". I'm not tired of coding, I do it every day and it is still rewarding. But that isn't a life goal.
