I agree about the value of quantitative assessments, but assigning numbers based on vibes feels hokey to me, so I’ll only do it if I can find quantifiable metrics that seem valuable. I think “do task x on y number of days” seem quantifiable, so I may include more goals like that.
I definitely want to improve clarity and readability. I have a bit of animosity towards “achievable goals” I’m the sort of person who wants to set goals I want regardless of if they’re achievable, and then stubbornly keep trying on my impossible goals until I make progress, but as mentioned in “A Pragmatic Vision for Interpretability”, separating those kinds of “impossible” or “north star / guiding” goals from the object level goals I expect to actually achieve is probably a good idea. I’ll put some thought into that.
Thanks again for engaging. It means a lot to me : )
