Hey, your article is very helpful especially the scheduling of time part, in this days the scheduling of time is a big problem for all of us, we all living in the complexity of time. The time for m opinion is running so fast and we need to schedule it because life is so short. I love your article keep it up.
I am happy to know this article was helpful, time management plays a huge role in our lives
Hi Diana. I really liked your article. I think that you cover all of the important aspects of how to stay motivated when everything seems to be falling apart, and I also think that this can be really helpful to anyone who feels the same way or is going though a rough time. Sometimes, as individuals, we get so involved and focused on our own lives that we tend to get tunnel vision and forget to follow the steps you’ve outlined in your post. I have definitely been there before myself, and I completely agree that it is important to set goals but many also forget that taking breaks is important and often goes overlooked!
With no goal an individual leaves everything up to chance. It is necessary to set goal and know where you are heading.
Thanks for the guide, Diana. My problem is procrastination. When things are not going the way I want, I tend to tell myself to give it a break but a day went by, then another day, then another. Hence the goal post shifted further. A timetable does help but there is always a reason not to complete a certain task on a given day. Being a stay-at-home mom ferrying my kids to and fro school and other activities does not leave me much time to achieve my goals. Wish I’m more time and work discipline.
We all suffer from procrastination, however we make a lot of excuses because we ae afraid of change.
Thank you so much for this article over coping when everything is falling apart! This is great advice I believe, for people who constantly feel hopeless. I wonder though, what if we make a schedule but some of the things on it take longer than what we schedule them for?
In life thing will not go exactly by your rules, the important thing is you plan and know where you are headed. Scheduling will get better with practice

I love the way you put it – everyone wants to be successful. Truth, we all desires success but not all are ready to pay the ultimate price. The ups and down of success can drown us but we need the keep our heads up the waters. Like you rightly highlighted, we need supports sometimes in the journey but we must set goals and highlight our priorities. Thanks for this needed motivation
My pleasure, thank you for your comments
Hi and thanks for sharing this very valuable guide to what to do when things are falling apart. I am by nature very disorganized and my work often does get out of hand. What I find works is that instead of scribbling random notes to myself all over already cluttered scrap paper, I take a fresh empty sheet and write down all the things I need to do. What I find most difficult is translating goals into a plan. This brings me to my question.
In your opinion, what is it that makes the difference between an effective plan and a jumble of goals? What elements need to be in a plan to make it workable and ultimately successful? Thanks, Andy
An effective plan is a clear description of your goals. To be successful, one should know he or she wants to achieve, have a plan, set an appropriate time frame, be consistent and stay focused. With hard work and dedication almost everything is possible
Your site has a ton of good content. Thank you very much. I believe that one of the most important points here for me is setting plans and also implementing them. When it comes to bad times, non of us can say we will never have them. But being able to cope with this is a skill that not all of us develop.
Thank you for your comments
Hi, Diana,
I enjoyed your post. It really resonated with me. I’m at a point in my life where I must make important decisions that will define my future.
A few months ago I felt depressed, and I felt I needed a break from everyone and everything. So I traveled and met people, but most importantly, I reconnected with myself. I came back home a different person.
I must confess I have a hard time with goals and schedules, but I will work on that.
Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, thank you for your comments
But what if you have to cope with matters outside of your influence? September 2014, easily the worst time of my life. Two good friends died, my mother passed away, one of my investments went pearshaped and my labor contract would not be extended at the end of that year. You can’t take a break from that, but I agree you can get support and set a new goal. That is when I found Wealthy Affiliates and started my own online business the following October. As they say, the rest is history.
I am not sure if you studied Buddhism, but do you think that could also help people? It sure helped me back then. Accepting the things that invariably come to each one of us. Attach, but not too much as all things will change. That kind of thing.
Thanks stopping by and also your comments. This prayer comes to mind.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
As we grow, we may have to let go of stuff, nothing lasts forever. Sometimes it is difficult but the sad truth is it is what it is.
