Most kids need short, attainable goals to keep them interested in the big picture, and they need some immediate success to keep them positive about learning new skills.
The best chance for success with any large undertaking is to breakdown big projects into small, manageable blocks with a definite beginning and ending. For music lessons, agree with your child to commit to five lessons—and accompanying practice session—at a time. L. Berkenkamp and S. Atkins; Because I Said So!
Undertaking appears to have a broad scope, between simpler tasks and larger enterprises. It can also be used as a verb, undertake, an advantage over some of its synonyms.
When you are describing things that are personal— learning to play an instrument; write a song— the English term is "aspiration." Those are things you want to do ('aspire to') for your own satisfaction. So they are not really 'projects' or 'activities'. 'Activities' are things you do, rather than things you desire. 'Projects' are often related to work, school, or even home, and they are something discrete, rather than a long term goal.
If the context is “time planning”, as the OP states, then I would think that one of the most suitable words would be:
priorities
But this will not be appropriate in other contexts.
(It also does not encompass the “vision thing”, about which the less said the better.)
