Levels of Goals

Basically, goals where a person seeks out short term pleasure at the cost of long term pain. Such goals would include becoming a drug addict or seeking to watch every program on Netflix. These types of goals seek short term dopamine hits at the price of self destruction or the destruction of those around you.

This is where you drift through life with nothing to guide your decisions. You only take action when something urgent arises that threatens your current lifestyle. Most people in the world don't have any significant goals outside of immediate survival.

Goals that are small in scope and require relatively little effort to accomplish. Basically, you exchange a small amount of effort for a small reward. These are the goals you start with if you're at a low point just to prove to yourself that you can get something positive done in your life.

SMART goals would fall here. Clear and attainable goals that take a standard amount of effort. You may have to eliminate some distractions, but you can more or less maintain your current lifestyle while you pursue them.

"10X" or "Impossible" goals would fit here. Like standard goals, but you will have to make certain sacrifices in your life to pursue them. You may have to temporarily compromise your health and personal relationships, but in exchange you hopefully attain results that make up for the temporary pain.

These are the types of goals where you risk permanently sacrificing your health or personal relationships to pursue them. You may have a goal to create a business empire, but if you're not careful you risk developing chronic disease, lose your social life entirely, and be estranged from your family.

These are goals that are so large you have no chance of achieving them outside of extraordinary circumstances you have no control over. You may have a goal of living in a crystal palace on the moon surrounded by supermodels, but there is zero chance of this happening outside of friendly aliens gifting you with the Star Trek level technology to make it possible.
