It tend not to set too many aspirational objectives as circumstances outside your control (think 2020, 2021) can end up in failure which is demotivating so I throw myself a new 4 week target every 4 weeks and work towards that.
The first one is clear out all the remaining junk in my house that I don't use. Most of this is already stacked up ready for sale or disposal and it's not even the 1st of Jan :)
The one queued up after that is run 5k again (I could do this until covid got me in april 2020)

- hughrr 5y agoYeah 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.
