You don’t need a giant goal to have a heading. Aiming a bit sharper than last year counts.

A direction does not require a grand destination. Deciding to be slightly better at one thing than you were twelve months ago is enough to organise a year, and it is far likelier to happen than a dramatic plan. Big goals often get chosen because they sound like they mean business, then quietly get abandoned by March. A modest heading held steadily carries you considerably further.

Pick one measurable thing and aim to be better at it by this time next year. A time, a grade, a skill, a saved amount. Write the current number down, because a year from now you will not remember where you started.
