A goal can remain on your list long after it has stopped being useful.

That does not mean you lack discipline. It may mean the context has changed.

Remember why you chose it

What problem was the goal originally meant to solve? Is that problem still important?

Imagine achieving it today

If the result arrived tomorrow, would you still want it? This question can reveal goals being pursued mainly through habit.

Notice repeated avoidance

Avoidance can indicate fear, but it can also indicate that the goal has lost meaning. Explore rather than assuming.

Check the opportunity cost

What are you not doing because this goal continues to consume time and attention?

Allow deliberate change

Updating a goal because you have better information is different from abandoning it because one week was difficult.
