And if some goals seem too large, start smaller, incrementally... but keep them measurable,
The DB-ing books (and coaches, if you ever go that route) make it a point to stress goal-setting in your self-improvement activities and (if you ever get that far) in your reconciliation and MC steps.
For me many of my goals seem too large. I got behind at work so today I focused on doing one thing, internet reward, one more thing, etc. I'm not caught up yet but I can breathe.
How would you do this for self improvement activities like being more positive?
