Long, non-maintenance goals?

Hi folks!

I have a lot of long-term goals, many that have been going for 3+ years and will likely go another 10+, but those are all maintenance-y.

I am thinking of beeminding study of a particular textbook, but I’m thinking of setting the deadline at least 3 years out, based on existing workload.

So, that sparked a few thoughts, and now I’m looking to collect a list of long-term goals people are using with Beeminder, or want to use with Beeminder.
