I've been writing on my "Computer Gadgets" blog for 18 years, accumulating over 6,000 articles. Many friends ask me how I set my goals and continued running the blog over a decade ago? How have I been able to consistently share content that improves work efficiency amidst ever-changing trends, and how have I maintained this commitment for so many years? In a recent online live stream, I shared a presentation on the topic of "How to break free from planning and design more flexible annual goals." I used AI to transcribe the audio recording of the presentation into a transcript (the original transcript was over 20,000 words). I then reorganized, simplified, and expanded the explanations, rewriting it into this article for your reference.
