It can indeed be dauting. I think once I had the list I tried to make a plan that allowed me to hit multiple goals in the long term. For example building my website in high detail was so that I could learn enough to get a Big Tech type of job. Traveling around the world at least partly was to find a wife and start a family. For me, I took all the items on my list and tried to turn that into a direction. I also prune/add to the list when I am feeling down and trying to think of what to look forward to.
