Set short-term goals instead of focusing on the end result. Actually, set a short term goal, just one, and connect it with something you already do everyday. For example, I've been learning French with an app called Duolingo. I use it just after waking up. I'm hoping I'll be able to hold up a conversation when I go to France in 2-3 years. I could tell myself "I'll learn French within the next 2-3 years," but it seems easier to just say "I'll do a French lesson on Duolingo when I wake up." It's easier to get something done when you mentally connect it with something you already do.

Thank you, I'll definitely do that. And good luck to you! We will pull ourselves out of this slump.
