me, i like arguing pointless shit-- hence, goal-setting was not required by me to post this crap. see?

Of course. I wasn't suggesting anyone actually take up the guitar, just that it represents the kind of goal that doesn't have a definite end point.
As for it lacking goals altogether, I have to disagree. Learning something like the guitar tends to entail a series of ongoing goals that can be met but only for them to be replaced by another, even more challenging series of goals.
Yes, the enjoymant of the process 'in the moment' is crucial but I needed a sense of progress, however slow and minimal, to really encourage me to continue.
