It sounds like your team is working hard - it isn't easy to achieve these goals, and dealing with setback is part of the program. Think about increasing your efficacy as you overcome each small obstacle.
This week in class, we talked about decision-making and talked about different kinds of heuristics. In this week's blog, write about the heuristics you use in your goal pursuit.
For example, when I am training, I don't know what is the right amount of training. How much is enough? I look at the magazines and training guides on-line, but they don't seem realistic. When I anchor myself on those plans, I just feel like I could never do enough. But, when I compare myself to some of my friends, I feel like I am an awesome athlete. Whether I feel successful depends on the person with whom I am comparing myself (just like the fish in the lecture). This is why I've tried to make my goal measurable and to find some sort of objective measure of success.
This week I missed Friday swimming because I had to go get my son from my mother-in-law's house, and I'm worried I'm getting shin splints from too much running, and one aunt took me out for all-you-can eat sushi and another took me out for dim sum. But, I know that I made my goals for exercise on the other days this week, and I'll be back in the pool on Monday at 5:45AM.
