Balancing goals in life
When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of what's important. One of the best ways to see the big picture——is to lay out your goals.
Pressure Points and How to Deal with Them

Being too hard on yourself - ease up, take a break and do something you enjoy. Daydream, read a book, go out with friends—anything that helps you relax.
Problems, problems, problems—recognize your limits. It's too stressful to try to deal with all your problems at once. .
It's important to remember that goals belong to you—not to your parents, your teachers, or your friends. After you're set your goals, identify the skills you have to achieve those goals. If you're not sure what skills you'll need, do some research. Try the library, your guidance adviser and teachers, and other people who could help you.
Goals exist to serve you. If your goal is something you no longer want, change it. Identify the barriers to getting your goals. . Don't get depressed by a big, long-term goal—see what steps you can take to achieve it and set those steps down as short-term, "do-able" goals.
