I’m not a fan of goals. I’ve written about this before, but the TLDR is goals don’t inspire me much and mostly seem like baggage, distraction, and stress creators.
I prefer to just stick to some simple heuristics (don’t do stuff you hate, don’t do stuff you suck at, create value for people, make yourself/company more valuable every day than the day before, etc.) and let the wins compound over time to whatever heights, instead of defining a specific height and date.
I also don’t go much for concrete personal goals in terms of wealth or lifestyle.
Still, here are a few life goals I can get behind:
- Never step foot in a car dealership
- Never get on the phone with a utility company
- Never wake up to an alarm clock
- Never fly commercial
- Never spend an entire day inside
- Never have to enter a login or password on any device
- Never go clothes shopping
I may or may not achieve all of these (though I have achieved some already), but they’re the kind of goals that seem fun.
