When I can’t recommit, and I don’t want to revise, the fourth option is removal. Grab an eraser. Hit delete. Don’t let that shock you. It’s a last resort but sometimes necessary. I’m all for achieving our goals. But the “Sabbath was made for man,” not the other way around. This is your game. I never met the goal police, but I’m certain they don’t show up when you strike a goal off your list. If a goal is no longer relevant, if it’s no longer compelling, if you’ve tried to revise it and you can’t, remove it. If you don’t, the goal will just sit there and accuse you.
