What you are describing is a very common dilemma.
You are already halfway there by being able to itemize your goals.
Some suggestions:
-write your goal in the positive form (e.g., I am on time rather than I won’t be late)
-read your goals right before going to sleep & when you get up
-set a time frame (e.g., I will finish my book report by such and such date)
-keep your list & time frames realistic
-reward yourself as you achieve your goals & pat yourself on the back!
-divide a larger goal into smaller ones
-have an accountability partner
-expect ups and downs, but keep on going!
-keep your list handy
Kol hakavod for workin’ on it!
Hatzlocha!

Remember, its not the effort that counts, its the “protektzia” you have backing you.

The point of goals is to be able to choose them in the order of being able to achieve them to build confidence and self-esteem. There are short term goals and long term goals so make sure to break them up accordingly.
Try to set 3 short term measurable and attainable goals that you can look back on an asses your progress and accomplishments and move on from there. As you accomplish these goals, move on to the next group. For instance what do you hope to accomplish in the next 2 months. Set those goals and really work on them. We can help you with that, if you state them on the cr “MY short term goals for the next 2 months.” We can advise you, encourage you an motivate you to keep you on track. At the end of the 2 months you can assess if you have reached your goals or how close you have come. Then you can choose another 3 goals for the next 2 months. At the end of the year you can look back and actually see how much you have accomplished and grown in the entire year.
