6 posts tagged "goal-setting".
The practice of choosing explicit aims and structuring effort around them — and the harder question of whether goals help or hurt. The blog is ambivalent: clear goals focus action and sharpen decision-making, but rigid ones can blind you to better paths and feed the hedonic treadmill, where each milestone resets your baseline and leaves you wanting more.

The deeper point is that goals are downstream of values: pick the wrong target and even perfect productivity carries you somewhere you didn't want to go.
