I read through all the steps but haven’t actually done more than step 1 yet (will do step 2 after Christmas when I’m back to a more normal week). I foresee getting stuck on Step 3, though. One of my goals was to do more activism things. This could involve tabling at festivals, leafleting, whatever else. It’s not something that I would do on a regular basis on a free hour each day. If I find a free hour, I could possibly use that time to plan the activism things I’ll do, but I imagine it’ll be hard to not do that in the mix of the activism-related emailing and planning that I’m currently doing, and to set that aside to a specific time.
Maybe my mistake was that my goal isn’t something I’m not doing currently, since it’s an “I want to do more of this” type thing.

That’s fair. There’s no requirement that your goal take the form of something done daily or weekly. You might make a commitment to X actions per month, or something. Or you can get more elaborate—Y instances of this action, Z instances of that action, etc.
You can still timebox, it just looks more like “I’m going to devote this time on Saturdays to activism” than “I’m using this free hour for activism”.

Suggestions?
