It\u2019s Rush and I\u2019ve got a dumb question&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This question is a broad one, but intentionally so because I would like to hear your thoughts, as well as maybe those of Steve, or Bart, or any of the Nosilla Castaways on how do you set a good activity goal?<\/p>\n<p>The thought came about when I was considering buying the Series 4 Apple Watch. One of my favorite apps on the iPhone is the Activity++ app which you\u2019ve reviewed on your blog as well as on ScreenCasts Online (SCO). That app alone has helped me along with the Workouts++ app, so that I no longer need my fancy Garmin Forerunner watch which I\u2019ve used in the past. Instead I\u2019m able to use Activity++ and monitor the streaks of closing my rings. However, I\u2019m currently at a 40 day streak and I\u2019m asking myself if it were 1,000 days? Would it really be a good goal at that point? Does a goal and achieving it for so long really sort of indicate that maybe your goal is too easy? I know it\u2019s a balance of time and other things and it can probably change over time also.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for considering my Dumb Question!<br \/>\nRush<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ve definitely got an opinion on this but Rush (and I) want to hear your thoughts first.
