Goals are good but consider replacing a date (which can be disempowering) with "ASAP!". Dates can be abused and deflating when you don't make it. They can also make you lazy because there's always "plenty of time" or they can be highly optimistic leading to disappointment as the date approaches and you start to realise you're not going to make it.
By using the power of "ASAP!" goal setting you can allow yourself to be better and faster than expected. I've had extreme success in a time so much shorter than I would have ever set a goal to be that I now never set dates on my goals. I always just use the power of my passion for the goal to get me there ASAP. You might be surprised at how fast you can achieve your goals if you let nature take it's course. We're often much better than we think and if you lose your way then maybe you just weren't that into it to begin with or other better things came along.
Plus, if things get in the way you don't have that meaningless fabricated date to drag you down too early. You work around what ever's currently slowing you down and re-accelerate at whatever pace you can manage or suits you at the time.
Just something to consider.
P.S. It won't work for paying the rent (and other "hard date" goals or "musts" though). But ASAP does work for all goals dealing with thing's you'd "like" to achieve.
