Maybe it's just my own predisposition for not trusting/respecting the types of people who typically discuss goal-setting (i.e. psychologists, life coaches, etc.), but I've never been a big believer in capital-G "Goals." That's not to say that I'm not ambitious or motivated, I just don't see much value in setting them--following a checklist of goals seems like its own hell to me.

That being said, maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps setting goals could help me. Do you set goals and, if so, has it helped your life? Could you share some examples? Thanks!
