It seems like there's often not enough time in the day to fit in Achievement, Respect, Fun, and Freedom. I've found that setting long and short term goals is a good way to make it all happen.
I once heard someone say that setting goals is like going on a safari in search of elephants; along the way, you will see lots of rabbits or other small creatures that will try to distract you, but don't let them! If you know that you are searching for elephants, then you can confidently ignore (or postpone) other distractions that pop up.
What's your elephant today?

My elephant is usually technology. Email, Facebook, words with friends. They do provide ARFF but ARFF without face to face contact with other people doesn't seem to have the same benefits.And in the case of young people, might be detrimental to healthy development.
