Long-Term Goals Are Malarkey
What is your chess goal for 2024?Here we go again... I understand wanting to attract social media attention, but et tu, Lichess? Come on, we track progress in:
- Basics, Practice, and Coordinates
- Puzzle Dashboard
- My Tournaments and Teams
- Openings (beta)
- Ratings history (profile page)
... so by now we should know that setting "long-term goals" (i.e., dreams) is less effective than setting goals (i.e., short-term reachable goals, what goals actually are).
As author of You Need Two Wins Per Game I may be underqualified to explain this concept, so allow CGP Grey to explain it once more. Happy new year!
