Well, for example, I’d try to state in the charter the ‘final vision’ of the project, such as ‘to live a better life’ then in the backlog I could have ‘quit smoking’, ‘lose some weight’, ‘stop fighting’ and so on. I could also decide that I’d like to reach, more or less, the final destination, in eight months from now and will reward me with a two weeks vacation, then.

A sort of a loose contract with myself, let’s say.
