That's what a tiral is: allows you to fail a lot.
You can try out your approach for a while and see if it works, and I hope it does. I've been in your position and there is also a different approach: instead of setting too many long-term and abstract goals, set shorter term goals. Set a goal or two for today, maybe to finish a book. Something that does challenge you and pushes you a bit. Something that will come into conflict with the other things you have ot do today.
Then, after you're doing well with one day goals and they're not longer challenging, go upto week long goals. Maybe watch twenty movies this week. That may sound like it'd just be fun and not all "serious and personal development-like", but that many movies, in a normal work week with friends, family, job, school, etc gets hard. Change it to whatever would be challenging, like maybe you can watch ten movies this week and that'd be challenging. Repeat until successful. Maybe read ten books this week or whatever. Figure out what's challenging for you.
Then move upto month-long goals. You'll be much better at keeping your focus together for a month. after having kept it together for shorter bursts, then upto a "season" or three or four months. Then half year, then year and you'll do much better at it, IMO. I have, anyhoo.
Alternatively, since you've already gotten a yearly focus, come up with specific goals that go down tot he month/seasonal level, then weekly and then daily level.
