When it comes to estimating projects, deadlines, and goals, be realistic. Don't reach for something you know you cannot reach. It harms everyone involved when the "end game" is set too far with no hope of being achieved.
When deadlines are set too near, when goals are too untouchable, and when work becomes too complicated, everyone is let down. Be realistic when you set out to do work. It's great to try to do your best, but you have to understand that everyone has limits. If you place everything just out of reach, you will constantly let yourself down.
Be realistic, and you'll always be on top of your game.
