Strive toward doing
Aim to means to intend or plan to do something: We aim to finish by Friday, The program aims to reduce childhood obesity.
It's slightly more purposeful than "plan to"—suggesting directed effort toward a goal rather than mere scheduling.
Common in both casual speech and formal contexts: I aim to please.
