A self-help tip I just saw: Your goals should scare you.
As in: your goals should be uncompromising things you would perhaps perceive as being unattainable.
Sounds suitably loin-gurding perhaps. But I don’t think is true or, at least, I don't think it's generalisable advice. You may disagree.
What bite-sized wise/folksie advice would you propose regarding one's goals?

One of my goals is to start threads in the appropriate forum spankey.

One of my goals will be to stop using “spanky”inappropriately.

JMHO - Your goals shouldn't scare you. Be it in chess, one's finances, fitness and health etc. goals are quite valuable if used correctly. I don't attain 90% of my goals in the time I've set for them, but the fact that I have them and are working toward them consistently has caused me to accomplish far more than if I had simply wandered aimlessly from one task to another with little structure.
Goals are a tool that help average people to attain above average things.
