Well this was a very specific time bound goal (read the New Testament in 30 days) that will be replaced by others along similar lines. I could have a more general “Read the Bible for x mins” or similar but wanted some rather more targeted goals as well. Seems to me that some targeted goals with a specific end point are ok as long as supported by the ongoing, never ending ones.
