I must say being in the Education industry it is challenging to be positive especially when you are pulled in many directions. My question is how do you avoid burn out from a week where there is elevated activies going on a campus and you are pulled in all directions?

How does an individual get more accustomed with the steps of management? I feel like when I have worked on projects everything was laid out for me and I missed out on the opportunity of the planning phase. Can you recommend a book or any other tools that can assist me in a reference guide? I would like to someday be able to be a director or project manager however I am so wet behind the years so to speak that I know I am not in a place where I would be successful yet.

How does a person accomplish goals professionally when there are only so many hours in the day. I work in Career Services as an Advisor and the amuont of interuptions I get on a daily basis is well too many count. It is hard when I have the goals in place and yet the timeframes are not always realistic to the position at hand.

I never realized that by breaking down your goals and evaluating the steps needed to accomplish them could be so in depth. Maybe this is why I have bailed on personal goals because I have not had realistic goals and broken them down into the steps needed to take to accomplish them.
