[Discussion] Can you share your 100 life goals?
Main Post:
Hey everyone,
So I've been diving into all this personal development stuff recently, and something keeps popping up that I find pretty fascinating - this idea of setting out about 100 life goals. Seems like a roadmap for life - you jot down the things you really want to do or achieve, and suddenly you've got yourself a game plan, it's provides both motivation and direction.
I can almost hear some of you saying, "Eh, setting so much specific goals isn't the way to go. You gotta have a wider vision!" I totally get that, and that's a cool way to look at things too. But hey, I'm all in for trying this goal setting experiment. Plus, I'd love to hear from those of you who have done something similar, or are just intrigued and want to give it a shot.
So far, I've managed to jot down about 30 goals of mine like build a successful business, read the 5 love languages book with my girlfriend, master lucid dreams, visit Tokyo, retire at 40, have at least 20 minutes of physical exercise every day (gym/tennis...), try quality drugs, run a marathon, etc.
But what I'm really interested in, is hearing about what kind of goals you guys have got. Maybe we can help inspire each other a bit, or at least get some clarity by putting it all down in writing.
So, how about it? Would you share your 100 life goals? I'm genuinely excited to read about them! Thank you!

Hey, Why one hundred? Wouldn't solid five be good enough?
[Discussion] What are your 2022 goals?
Main Post: [Discussion] What are your 2022 goals?
Top Comment:
These are my goals until July 2022 when I turn 40. I will renew my goals after that.
- I am going to continue to be fully compliant on the sinclair method (TSM) to control my drinking (already 3 weeks complete). 2. I will continue to not smoke cigarettes (already 7 weeks complete). 3. I will count my calories and be in a weekly 1500 cal deficit to lose the 15 pounds I'm still carrying from my last pregnancy. 4. I will do an hour of dance cardio 4 times a week. 5. i will complete the 3 draft chapters I have been working on of my Phd thesis. (3 hours writing 5 days a week). 6. I will bring my french language from upper intermediate to fluent (2 hours a day, 5 days a week. Anki every day). 7. I will be fully present for my kids in the hour before school and the hours before bed. 8. I will make some kind of sleeping commitment (TBC before nye). This is my year. TSM is going to be the key. 🔑😊
What are your "life goals"?
Main Post:
Someone asked me this recently and I had a really hard time coming up with something. I don't really think much in terms of "goals" and don't look to the far future often. I feel like I just want to have a life where I'm happy and healthy. A simple life. But I'm afraid my lack of goals might be worrying? I don't know..

I'm going to write before reading what everyone else wrote.
My entire young adult-adult life was spent trying to survive and 'do the things I should be doing'. School, working, paying rent, trying to have some fun once in a while, just this constant cycle of just trying to get by. I didn't have time or energy to even consider any real goals beyond just living. Once in a while I would have a 'it would be nice if' thought, but I never acted on any of them because I was too busy or too tired. Frankly I was miserable, even though I pretended not to be.
I'm in my 30's now and made some very big changes. I moved back to my hometown and got a job in the manufacturing plant. I worked A LOT of overtime and focused on gaining skills in CNC machining, then moved into a quality role, and am now getting into some more technical stuff. I did the same thing I was doing before for a while, but put more effort in to saving money. After 2 years I bought 17 rural acres and just started spending free time out there, without any concrete goals.
I cut way back on the hours I was working and just to the regular 40 now, and make sure I use every single one of my vacation days. I got a dog and started a garden and made myself do things that I wanted to do. I indulged as many of the little 'why not read a book about whatever', 'start a painting of whatever', 'play a video game', 'take a hike all the way to the bottom of the hill and back through the woods in the rain', 'take a mushroom foraging class', etc etc ideas that popped into my head.
I have the time and brainspace now to learn what I actually want out of life, and to actually come up with some goals to work towards. I just didn't have the ability to think about what I wanted out of life before. It takes time and space to allow yourself to come up with some things. And then there was a realization that I can change the goals anytime, which made it easier to start working on them.
I know moving back to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere after living in a city for 10 years isn't what most people think of as progress, but it's what I had to do to make room for my life. And frankly, I like it better. I don't think I'll choose to live in a city full time again, but who knows.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you just try to come up with goals, the will be goals that meet other people's expectations. To figure out some real ones, you have to put the time and effort into learning what makes you want to live, and honor those and start cultivating. The 'goals' will just kind of grow out of that when you find some stability and space.
What are your ACTUAL long term goals?
Main Post:
Hello, just like the title says, what are your long term goals? Even if they’re very specific to you. 5 years out, 10, so on.
I’m working on a large healing journey right now, and a lot of it has caused me to realize I had no real long term goals for myself. I divorced my husband and realized that all of my goals were to be involved with his. My new partner and I are working through some stuff, in a very healthy way, but we did realize that we didn’t have any separate long term goals.
I think I could never perceive becoming an adult. Now it’s happened. I’m tired of looking up long term goals to get ideas and it’s the same list saying “buy a house! Get married! Have kids!” I’m a 29 year old divorced queer who doesn’t want to have children either way. What do I want with my life though?
Edit: I was wanting to reply to everyone who commented, and then I’d gone to bed and didn’t realize people would see my little post while I was sitting sad at home. Thank you everyone. I feel less alone.

What are your 2023 goals?
Main Post:
An excellent way to improve productivity is to have goals and plans. My question is about which goals you have for 2023 and what achievements you accomplished in 2022 :)
Top Comment:
My goal for the past few years has been consistency. If I'm consistent, I move forward with whatever I'm working on. The key part of this idea is that even if I fall off a little, I know I can just get back to it. I used to have an all or nothing attitude and that got me nowhere.
What are your 2024 goals?
Main Post:
Last year, I shared a post that received tons of helpful comments, and I'm eager to recreate that this year. It's amazing how much inspiration we can gather for our 2024 goals by exchanging ideas. What are your aspirations for the upcoming year, and what personal victories did you celebrate in 2023?
Top Comment:
I want to become more of a minimalist and stop unnecessary spending.
[Discussion] [Advice] What are your 2023 goals; daily, weekly, monthly, yearly? How do you make weekly and daily goals?
Main Post:
Need some goals inspo, would love to hear yours.
I know how to write yearly and monthly goals, but struggle with daily and weekly. would you mind telling me tips
Top Comment:
I view daily and weekly "goals" more as habits to be built than goals themselves. When you class something as a goal, you're saying that you will achieve it, in the future.
The future doesn't exist. It happens (paradoxically), but when it happens, it's no longer the future. Until that point, it's essentially just another idea in your head of what you want. It's a concept.
Days and weeks are short term, tangible time frames. You can still have goals, eg. "I will walk 100k steps this week", but you might be left with the question of "how the hell do I achieve my goal in such a short space of time?!" and then you miss it.
So for this reason it feels more practical (to me at least) to use these to form habits for the larger goal. You want to lose 30kg? Go to the gym every day for 1 hour. You want to write a book? Write 500 words every day. You want to learn a language? Dedicate 3 hours a week to sessions.
