Setting one to three major goals per year is generally sufficient and challenging.

“limit your options, trying to pursue too many goals at once, can definitely be counter productive. Now I realized that life is complicated. We all have multiple goals that we're trying to pursue, but if we have particular goals that are important to us, we have to be careful to not get distracted by other goals. And many people run into this problem. So setting one or two or maybe three major goals for a given year, is going to be more than enough for most people and is actually going to be challenging for most people.”
