Yeah when I notice I’m stuck on a vague/complicatd work task I ask “ok what do I actually want here?” and this helps.
I guess to the extent that’s different from “what’s my goal”, it’s mostly that “what I want” may not be achievable or within my control, so my goal might be something more bounded than that or something with a chance but not a certainty of getting what I actually want.
