Great thread. I always run out of ideas for targets.

I didn't see any about emotion or state of mind. I find these are very helpful. In particular,

state of mind:
  • feeling agitated, upset, annoyed
  • worrying
  • ruminating
  • planning/problem-solving


I try to choose some targets that I know I'll hit, and some that I may not. I also try to spread them out so that some will be soon, some mid-day, and some in the evening.

I try to choose targets where my attention is usually focused on the action and I'm typically not mindful. Busy / bustling experiences, like: boarding a crowded bus or train (that first step off the pavement onto the vehicle.

Putting the key into the lock when you come home

I also would keep 4 active targets: when I realize one was hit/missed, I'd replace it with a new one (although I tend to not eliminate misses, I leave them around for another chance).

p.s. for me, ala TYoDaS, the goal is to make *all* experience the occasion for increased presence and lucidity. But these are a great way to start.
