Seconding daily practice as a great achievable-soonish goal.

My experience has been that even if it's very brief and gentle some days, practicing every day (or almost every day -- sometimes life interferes, and that's fine) causes a sort of sea change in your yoga -- things start happening that never happened in years of on-off, sometimes intense but intermittent practice.

For a long-term goal, you could pick a "big", impressive pose that you'd really really love to do someday but that seems impossibly daunting right now. Obviously it depends what appeals to you and what's challenging for you, but it could be something like handstand or full lotus, where there's a long progression of steps you can use to work gradually towards the full pose. Even if you never get there completely, it can be a very interesting journey.
