Default Number of Active Goals vs. "Maintenance" Goals

I know that normally you're only supposed to have 3 or 4 goals that you are working on at a single time, however I'd love to hear your thoughts on "Maintenance Goals".

If you have a goal that is you've been working on and it is primarily already on track and you don't have to spend a lot of energy on it, do you need to count it in the 3-4 goals?

For example, we've been working on getting out of debt. We are actively paying down debt and pretty much, at this point, we don't have to do much. It takes about 15 minutes every 2 weeks, just to check and make sure that everything is on track.

I'm not even sure where I'm going with this question, but I thought I'd throw it out there and see what y'all think about it.

Thanks!

The number of goals we can have depends on the person. If you can handle many goals at the same time, then go for it. And if many of your goals don't need much daily or weekly effort then i see no reason why you couldn't have many of them.
