This is how I've decided to do my goals for the year. I split mine into 4 categories: personal, professional, physical, and reading. And then do monthly goals for each and track what I do per day. I don't have to do something in each category every day or even have to do anything any day. It's just helpful for me to see if I am slacking in an area over a stretch of days. The idea is to keep the goals fairly easy to accomplish and not plan more than a month out so I can pivot.

Any reason you have reading as a separate category? Cant it be merged into the personal and professional categories?
Its an area that I've neglected a lot in my adult life. I started off the year saying I am going to at least read one book (any book) per month. Currently reading One World by Wendell Willkie FWIW. I don't mind if there is cross-over and if there is that's even better! All about easy goals and progress.
