Different people have different ideas about goals. For instance, David Allen advocates trying a bunch and seeing what sticks, while Leo Babauta recommends setting as few as possible.
Blogging about goals occurs every year around New Year’s Resolutions time. Here’s a good example from Andrew Hyde.
We’re having fun updating Amplifier’s strategic plan and deciding which compelling opportunities to tackle next. As I think through my other, personal goals, I’m focusing on:
- running: I want to extend last year’s fun (825 miles run, Austin Half Marathon, Imogene Pass Run) with 1,000 miles, the Austin Marathon, some trail races around town, and at least one cool trip run.
- photography: I finally got a cool SLR and want to have some fun learning.
- reading: I’ve neglected books for too long and am eager to return.
- Austin: I want to help Austin become the most web-engaged city ever. Austin should be super-crazy-strikingly dense with people who know and practice GTD; who publish and participate and express themselves online; and who thus enjoy a more vibrant city and personal experience. The Regulars comprise one piece of this effort. Please join us whenever you can. New pieces will also launch this year.
I will also address goals in other areas. This list is a decent start, though. I am most excited about the Austin crusade. It’s already a blast and will only get cooler.
