Are Making Goals Helpful or not?

Well, It's the start of a new year again, right? Time to take stock of what you accomplished in the last year and make new goals for this new one? Right?

I've looked at quite a few videos concerning goal making, especially for artists and freelancers, and the one thing I'd like to say about goal setting is: that if it makes you feel happy and excited I would go ahead with it, but if trying any goal setting method makes you miserable or makes you feel like it's a hopeless cause, why bother?  Anyway I like this video and found it especially helpful. Hope you will too!
