Understand your why. Sometimes it's not so much the what or the how that matters, but your why--the purpose behind what you're doing. Being clear about what you're working for can give you the stimulus to stay on course.

Conduct a Time Inventory
For two or three days, keep an hour-by-hour journal of how you spend your time. That includes work, exercise, meals, social media — even procrastination and avoidance.

Then, without judgment or self-criticism, review:

Where did your time go each day? How was it spent?
What times of day were the most productive?
When was your brain least energized? When was little accomplished?
Where were the pockets of “wasted time” that could be used more intentionally?
By really examining your time inventory, you can see more clearly what exactly is getting in the way.

Manage your time wisely.

Perfectionists sometimes have issues with prioritizing. For them, every task, large or small, must be flawlessly done. In the fact of challenges, however, this attitude leads to a lot of stress. Mental health experts suggest asking, "What now?" and the identification of what is really urgent and has a lower priority.

Pay attention to when, if ever, you are not making efficient choices in your use of time. Be self-correcting.
You might try writing down your tasks and then putting them in a hierarchy. Some tasks will be “A” tasks. These are ones that need your best attention or are very urgent. Rate those under them in importance as B, C, or D tasks.
Do the most important thing on your list first thing in the day, maybe for 90 minutes. Then, in the evening, spend about 10 to 15 minutes reflecting on what you want to accomplish the next day. Make a new outline, if need be.

Pace yourself.

While pursuing goals, it’s healthy in both work and life to know when to stop, take a break, and rest. Pacing will improve your mental and physical well-being, while preparing you to start anew with full tank of energy.
Setting a good pace can be as easy as giving yourself regular breaks at work, or changing tasks every so often in order to reduce fatigue.
Listen to your mind and body. If you feel chronically tired and run down, rest. You can’t be productive unless you have energy and focus. If you can, take an hour for lunch and go for a walk.
Get adequate sleep each night to wake up refreshed — around eight hours is usually enough. A good sleep routine lets your brain function at its highest levels, while a lack of sleep will leave you grumpy, fatigued, and wooly-headed.
Enjoy life’s pleasures. There is a big world out there with music, movies and books, each of which can bring out your best. Have coffee or outings with friends or loved ones. An active inner and social life can give you a healthy balance.

Be flexible.

Events in life rarely go exactly as planned. We run into unexpected problems with work, finances, or family, and it is important to be ready to adapt. Flexibility requires having an open mind, being ready to accept change, and sometimes making painful decisions. Without it, you may find yourself with lost opportunities.
One way to be flexible is to be prepared for all possibilities. Think about what might happen in the future, and consider different scenarios or perspectives. In other words, see the big picture.
Be willing to learn new skills, methods, or ways to take on tasks. For example, instead of fretting about why you lost out on a recent promotion at work, look for ways to make changes that will improve your efficiency and productivity.
Take risks. Success usually doesn’t just fall on your lap. Often we need to take a risk in order to take advantage of opportunities. And, if we fail, we can still learn from the failure and adapt in the future.[6]
Don’t be afraid to vent a bit. Adapting forces you to go outside of what you are used to. It can be uncomfortable. It’s OK to feel that way, and, at least in private, you are justified in blowing off some steam.

Motivate yourself.

While the demands of work and everyday life are constant, our will and ambition are sometimes not up to the task. We reach low points. It becomes hard to accomplish routine tasks. During these low points we have to remind ourselves to stay motivated. Look for ways that will keep you on task and focused.
Keep long-term goals in mind. If you are discouraged, step back and try to gain perspective. What are you doing? Why? Remind yourself of how hard you have worked, and remember that it is easier to tread water than to fall behind and catch up later.
Rehearse your past triumphs. Revisit a time when you accomplished something important — maybe it was winning a "worker of the year" award or getting special recognition for your volunteering. Let some of the positive memories flood back.
You might also try reminding yourself of strengths. Write down your areas of skill and strength. Having a reinforced sense of self can be a powerful sources of motivation.
Take stock of what you’ve accomplished each day. In the evening, reflect and recognize what you’ve done. Take a few minutes. Create a list. You will probably be surprised at how many items there are.
To stay inspired about your short-term goals, have a clear vision of what you want in the long-term and how the two are connected. That way, you won't get unmotivated when challenges arise.

How to Keep Going

It is a fact that life can be overwhelming. The continual pressure to look good, to perform well, and to compete for wealth and affection creates a good deal of stress and, sometimes, we have periods when we feel down. Try not to get discouraged, though — it happens to everyone. If you are struggling to stay motivated, whether in work or in life in general, try to refocus your energy, put events into perspective, and recharge your mental batteries. You’ll be out of your rut soon.
