Chapter 1:Why should we have a mixture of specific and general goals?
The reason why we should have a mixture of specific and general goals is that setting specific and measurable goals can help you directly on your goals. It is like having a GPS for your life. And just like the GPS on your phone needs a specific destination to be useful, external goals really only work when you have a specific outcome in mind.
General goals are best for internal pursuits. Specific goals are good but in many ways more useful than specific goals because they are endless and internal. You can never finish “being healthy.” You can never fully achieve “being a better writer.” There’s always something you could be doing better.

Chapter 2: What do we need to align our goals with? Consider how these affect your goals.
We need to align our goals with our values. If not, then this is a subtle way that we let others choose our goals for us. It is important to have a goal that aligns with our values so the goal would be actually enjoyable. The second is choosing ineffective goals in the first place. This would be a waste of time and you won't get any good results with it.
