Derek Sivers says a good goal makes you jump out of your chair and start working right now. The future outcome doesn't matter. What matters is whether it changes your behavior today.
A good goal is something that changes your actions in the present moment. It's like if a goal makes you jump out of your chair and get to work, it's a good goal. That's all it's really meant to do. What happens in the future, who knows? But if you deciding this is where I'm headed, if that gets you, if that changes your actions for the better in the present moment, it's a good goal. Whether that was like one of those giant goals, like, "I'm gonna be a billionaire of world," you know, whatever, whatever, you know, or if it's just something like, "I want to finish this song tonight." Whatever goal it is, it doesn't necessarily shape the future, it just has to shape your present actions.
