This article seems to be getting discussed a lot:

One take away is: don’t have goals. With a goal you have a long period
of not having achieved something, followed by a fleeting moment of
victory, followed by “ok, now what?”
Instead, have systems. Ie, ways to get ever awesomer every day.
In other words, use Beeminder!
Prima facie, Scott Adams seems to be mocking Beeminder users, but in
fact he’s praising them.
