My ultimate goal is to land a job, so everything I do is aimed for that future. Easiest measure of how I know I've reached my goal is that I actually land a job.

But to achieve that I first have to bring back my routine. Since last autumn everything has not gone as I would have hoped for in life, which has lead me to lose interest and motivation. So getting that routine back is essential, and I know I've achieved my goal when I no longer succumb to the ever tempting siren song of procrastination and just code away.

The worst thing that could make me lose motivation is if I don't have enough challenge in my project(s). This has always been my downfall in everything that I want to learn, if it feels too easy I lose interest. Emphasis on the "feeling" part, and not on the objective scale of how easy something is.
