Years with an HN recommendation, 2007–2026
HN people recommend it for its simple, powerful idea of marginal adjustments and its usefulness for tackling big projects.
Stephen Duneier describes a decision-making approach that took him from struggling with simple tasks to achieving ambitious goals. The talk centers on breaking goals into small marginal adjustments.
“The idea of marginal adjustment is both simple and powerful.” (HN, 2018)

You are probably fine already, but if you feel that you want more, I would suggest to get some inspiration from a new paradigm you never did before. I've seen this lately, and while he did come up with rather random looking goals, it seems it doesn't matter what they are if you devote yourself fully to them. [this video]
Random-looking goals work if you devote yourself fully; new paradigm.
