  Oh cool, Habinator looks interesting! "Unrealistic expectations" -- This is another one of those things that can make one feel unproductive. Realizing the expectations are unrealistic can be hard to accept because it can make the pursuit of the goal feel like wasted time. One solution I've heard a lot is to pursue goals for which failure can also be considered productive, basically by learning useful information or a useful skill (or, if you're lucky, repurposing the failure, such as selling a failed synthetic rubber as a novelty toy called "Silly Putty"). Also may be helpful to consider beforehand what exact metrics will constitute "success" or "failure", as it can be easy to constantly think "it just needs a bit more time". Looks like Habinator may help with that.
