I've always been bad at keeping long term goals for myself. I make a couple of long term goals for myself every New Year's, just to forget about them <2 months later. Part of the issue is that I've never forced myself to think about what successfully completing the goal would look like, and in the ambiguity of what the results will look like I end up not following through.

Even for goals where I do establish some metric, I do it in the lens of a "time window" that isn't long term. Examples: "Hit the gym 3 times a week", "Write 1 blog post a month", etc. These don't work for me: missing the mark one week or month tends to break the whole system.

Hence, I'm going to start publishing my goals publicly. I'm going to push these in front of my friends' faces. I'm defining exactly what I want to accomplish, and how you know I'll have accomplished it. My objectives, and their key results.

Not all of these are ambitious, but I want to get into the habit of designing concrete goals and measuring progress first. If this system is successful, I'd like to do this ideally every half year.

For the rest of 2020, here are some areas I'd like to improve in and how I'm going about them.
