I've noticed I stopped setting as many goals lately. Do you still make new ones for yourself? What are some goals you have at the moment? Career or otherwise...

I have one goal, to be able to save enough to retire. There are no other goals unless it’s in support of this. I couldn’t care less about titles and latter climbing.

1. Not getting fired
2. Living until I’m 90
3. Saving enough money to live comfortably until I’m 90
4. Being a good father and husband
Definitely not the goals I had as a teenager 🤣

Work goal is to stay employed, borderline quiet quitting (just doing the absolute bare minimum).

Personal goals are family oriented (dad to 2 year old with another on the way), so trying to enjoy my time with my kid, wife, making memories for my baby.

Win my next tennis match (and the next one after), decrease my body fat by 3p.p., spend at least 1-2h a day with my kids, finish that house renovation to have a place for retirement...
Lots of goals- none any more career wise which is a bit strange after focusing on my career for the past 20 years.

It’s impossible for some to escape the capitalist paradigm, even for a fleeting moment. That’s what happens when indoctrination was substituted for education.

Quality of actionable goal, not quantity. If you have achieved a modicum of success, typically post 40 goals have to do with
1. Personal goals
A. Fitness
B. Family
C. Self development- reading, volunteering, etc

2. Maintaining saving/retirement strategy (or developing one)
3. Reflecting on career path... stay or move on?

stand up from the sofa and leave the flat.

within this strategy, my goal for tomorrow is
1. go downstairs to a shop to buy things for breakfast instead of ordering delivery
2. cut it beautifully on a plate before eating

this goal might sound small, but i literally order everything to deliver to home and dont leave flat at all.

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
