Take some time today to be sure that you are promoting targeted dreams. Do you have a deadline that is unrealistic?  What is your contingency plan?  It is never to early to review your targets and keep an eye on the triangle:

Time –

What is due next week?
Who is going on vacation?
Does anyone look ill? Sound ill?

Scope –

What does you sponsor really need the most?
Can it be completed early?
Who has disappointed them lately?

Cost –

Who is on accrual?
Who is down to 5% left?

While everyone is thinking that the end is far and the pressure is low. Remember that ‘shared resources’ can be strained resources and the team may already be closer to their personal targets than you realize.
