What goals for the future do you have?

Even though I realise im more than likely going around in circles, something tells me it might be a good idea to try and think of some goals to work towards and I wondered what other people may have as goals (for the medium to long term, I suppose), to maybe give me some food for thought perhaps?. Pardon my nosiness.
My main ones, off the top of my head, would include
- Write more, maybe try and write a poem or two every couple of months or so at least, to get my thoughts written down and get better at explaining things without winding myself up (I'm not sure how to quantify that specifically but still...)
- To visit London again (as I haven't been since 2012 and I'm quite fond of the city)
- To see more of Italy and Scandinavia - more specifically, Sweden/Norway
- To become better at time management, judged by not running around in a desperate rush to leave the house in time for a good few days in a row at least, that would be a real improvement(!).
There probably are more obvious ones but if so, I can't think what they are
mostly things I can't really quantify, like to become more assertive and basic things like that, I suppose.

Survive our kids' teenage years with our minds intact. I'm not even joking.
Get something done about my pain
Good luck with that(!) - nightmare years *shudders*.
I don't think im going to have kids, or if I do then I'll end up being an older mum than I'd wanted to be when I was a kid myself (when I was a kid, I told myself I didn't want to have kids when I was old and less energetic and able to play with them).
Insomnia is quite frustrating
It's not insomnia. It's three kids under the age of four!!!
Maybe not for you but I've had insomnia, just a few months ago. I can't relate otherwise though. I wouldn't know what to do if there were a baby or toddler in the house crying.
buy a house, get into more debt.
pay off house.
Good luck! You can join the sleepless nights club
Anyway, tonight for my little boy to actually go to bed (as he peers around the door frame - we're going through a phase).
Longer term, transition my company exclusively into games as that is where my heart appears to be. Ensure we can live comfortably and give our kids a good future. Fairly standard stuff people want really. I don't have any particularly extravagant goals, I gave up on proper dream chasing when we had kids, they take priority now.
Short-term goals include marrying the Mr and having a few more kids.
My OH does not want to get married, she sees it as pointless, although I like the idea. Its not important enough to me to be a deal breaker though and its too late for deal breakers as we have two kids.
I wasn't bothered about marriage at all, through all my previous relationships I was adamant that I didn't want to get married. Then I met my Mr and I can't wait to be his wife.
As for kids I already have 2 but I've always wanted a big family and so does the Mr, so we're hoping to have 3 or 4 more.
I don't think its pointless but to me a wedding would be full of stress, having to plan and organise it all, the cost and everything else. I remember a girl at school who used to obsess about weddings(!), I never understood that. Each to their own, I suppose.
I feel your pain!
Build a personal super-computer.
Own a 200mph car.
Better my own personal speed and altitude records.
Look down on the Earth from space. (Although, barring extra-terrestrial intervention, I fear I was born a generation or two too early for that).
Aw thats nice
Finish degree
Use degree to either became a trainer at work or start from scratch in a new career as a teacher
Have kids
Get married
I'm still deciding on whether I want to buy a house or save the money and leave it to my kids.
Pretty much yeah... There have been some major bumps along the way but there has never been anything that made me think letting go would be easier than working our way through it.
