As an achievement/goal enjoying person, I realized that I do not function amazing well with goals. I had a problem of making goals and forgetting them and then trying to binge progress. Instead I use goals as an idea but transform everything into scheduled appointments or daily habits. It isn't a SMART or scheduled goal but I have noticed I have made better progress on what I wanted to do even without an end date or quantity measure

Examples: instead of passing the Japanese N5 test by summer, I make a habit of learning Japanese daily. Or instead of finish 1 project a month I make a habit of doing something creative each day or making sewing dates with friends over the weekends that month. Instead of losing X weight, I have two habits of eating homemade healthy meals while not eating out, and exercising daily.
