I too am wondering about your goals. What are they and how realistic are they? Are you biting off more than you can chew? Have you formulated a plan to get there?

As a manager, trying to encourage self improvement, role modeling desired behavior, or counseling people on goal setting, there are several 'rules' to achieving such betterment...

1. Set realistic, achievable goals
2. plan incremental steps to achieving the final goal
3. the steps must be measurable
4. the steps must have a reasonable timeline attached
5. reward yourself each time you achieve one of the increments to the final goal.
6. regularly review your plan and amend it as neccessary
