But the choice to improve your skills is a difficult one and you're a little intimidated and a little bored with the process sometimes.
The only advice I have for you is that breaking your ambitions down into doable goals is the easiest and most fun way to manage your hope to improve. For instance saying to yourselves, "Yesterday we were able to keep juggling 10 rounds before we dropped the ball, today we need to keep going until we do it 11 times. Then we can quit. Or yesterday we got two laughs, today we will busk until we get three laughs and then we will spend the busking money on frivolities. You need specific assignments and rewards.
