I honestly think that it is a bit of trial and error. And I also think about my health, my energy level and what else I have to do that day. If I have a lot going on, I’m not feeling well or I have low energy, I only set a few achievable goals (drink water, do some conscious breathing, connect/text with some friends). If I am feeling good, feel energetic and my calendar is looking light, I am more aggressive with my goals that day (exercise for 20 minutes, go for a walk, learn something new/read a book, meet up with friends). Then, I really try to be gentle with myself regardless, if the day does not work out the way I had hoped, I learn from that and adjust my goals accordingly in the future.

Set the goals at least the night before and cheese a time that works for you. Choose a goal that you can do and block off time in your calendar and pad it by 25% more time than you expect to need to accomplish it.
Set a very small number of goals.
