I suggest just choosing one or two goals, probably from the easier and more specific goals, and then doing them.

I was surprised to find for myself that having a really fast moving imagination can be a problem.

Same here. One problem with accomplishing my goals is that I am too good at inventing new ones. So it's difficult to stay focused on one goal as long as is necessary to complete it. It's rare to have a goal that feels so important that even weeks later it is still a priority #1.
