Actually I think there are seperate titles for correspondence chess, and these might be easier to get.

That's a good suggestion!

Chess also has a very decent rating system (either the official FIDE rating or the ratings on online chess servers) so another way of setting yourself an achievable goal is to pick a rating (i.e. 1700 on Lichess) and then work towards that. Rinse and repeat!

I’d be happy with 1000. I keep getting close and then falling back into the 800s
