yeah, somewhat often —- it’s basically a way for me to verify whether a goal is actually a goal for me (if i don’t care enough to meet a deadline or at least try, it’s not a goal and it’s weighing me down to act like i care about it/expect it to happen)

though sometimes the desire to achieve them comes back much later, and i retry

basically desire would enable me to achieve them or get closer / lack of authentic desire is usually in the way

It seems a majority of people don't even bother to formulate goals, let alone write them down. Yet, the act of writing them down, already gives extra motivation and makes it more likely you achieve (some of) your goals.
