Calling a method twice in Start without overwriting

Hello, I'm a bit new to unity and am wondering how I can call this method twice.

I am trying to move an object from one point to another, and then another.. etc as many times as id like:

public class Motion : MonoBehaviour {

 float t;
 Vector3 startPosition;
 Vector3 target;
 float timeToReachTarget;
 
 void Start()
 {
     startPosition = target = transform.position;
     
     SetDestination(new Vector3(1, -2, 2), 2f);
     SetDestination(new Vector3(0, 1, 1), 5f);
 }
 void Update()
 {
     t += Time.deltaTime / timeToReachTarget;
     transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startPosition, target, t);
 }
 public void SetDestination(Vector3 destination, float time)
 {
     t = 0;
     startPosition = transform.position;
     timeToReachTarget = time;
     target = destination;
 }

}

Can you please clarify what you are trying to do? For instance, the SetDestination in the Start() method will instantaneously move the object from one location to another. Is that what you want?
