What are my 2017 goals?

I'm not sure how to answer this question. I've considered this for the past few weeks and haven't come to any conclusion. I'm not sure if I even want to set goals for 2017, but if I don't have something to focus on then I'm just going to waste time spinning my wheels or playing games. Yesterday, in "Looking Forward to 2017" , I listed some books I want to read. However, that doesn't satisfy my urge to write. For some reason my mind draws a blank when I consider my 2017 goals, so maybe I just need to list twelve or more things I want to accomplish and let it go at that. The problem I have with list goals is that I either make them too concrete or so watery that they don't set properly.

Goals or Resolutions List

Find a less expensive place to live.
Stuff a sock in the mouth of my inner critic.
