One thing I realized is that self awareness really helps when one is trying to be organized, progressive and happy. It is hard to remain focused and positive all the time, especially when obstacles keep popping up and your ability to handle each situation with grace and etiquette when faced with a challenge, does not always appear instantly.
When we are: 
* Having feelings of being overwhelmed
* When our belief system is negative, and we hold them to be true
* Our goals are precarious
* We feel unhappy
* Afraid of judgement and failure
We seriously have a poor relationship with ourselves. 
So, what to do. On the internet there are many blogs and self-help websites that tell us what to do. They have step by step guides and even interactive forums that you can join and be a part of.
Honestly, I have followed a few of them and myself felt inspired, felt pumped up with positive energy knowing I was not alone, and help was right there.
Yet here I am again on the slump slope. I hate that. I mean I get so revved up and then something happens, where my thinking takes a turn and it takes me a bit to snap back out of it. I do so though, with a conscious awareness that I am in the slump slope, and so i am able to take the turn.
What do you do when the steering cable breaks and you keep heading straight instead taking the damned turn!?
It is so much easier said then done. For me, the plan must be very, very, visual. And, I might add, I am the type of person who needs it to be broken down into manageable steps.
For example: I really want to update my website and have an easier flow, a navigation throughout so that viewers can go back and forth without to many pages opening up or adds, or back peddling. In order for me to be able to do this I need to create time either on the computer or on my phone, researching and viewing how I want my website to look, and then learning how to do it, like implement it on WordPress.
I know what I do like, whew thank gawd. 
I can find pages I love on the Internet and go yes this is how I want it to look, and then not know what to do. This is also the time where I need to utilize help that is out there. This is where I tend to procrastinate.
I feel so green at this.
The language, the computer language. Half the time I am looking up what everything means so I understand. What heck is a tag line? I had no idea of its importance until I looked it up. What is a ping? Well there is another thing. Again, looking it all up and then asking where do I allow pingbacks, is it necessary, different opinions I get …
Akkkkkkkkk 
So, first step was to derive a plan. I started with this one goal, and then broke it down, to what I thought I might be able to achieve in 6 months, then 3 months, then 1 month, and then a week. I blogged about the 3-month plan last week. click here to view
Here is what that is looking like. I know crazy right. Ok no hate please. I need to do this; in the hopes it will help me stay in the motivated state of mind.
In 6 months, One Goal
Website updated for pages, color, and flow, connect effectively the subscription sign up to my website. Establish at least 3 affiliates that have meaning and value to my readers. Continue to learn how to generate traffic to my blog and understand insights.
In 3 months 
I printed off the 3-month calendar and have added more time within my weekly schedule dedicated to my blog. Office day for my Blog and office day to run the house. I will have made the
“To Do List” and will have my timeline sketched out. In this case it is 6 months. I do have bigger longer-term goals of course; however, I will tackle this one first.
In the first month 
I have printed off a monthly calendar. check out this template
In here I slotted all the obligated events and work I already have commitments too. I did take off 90% of August to solely focus on the house and my family and my blog. I did create “the list of things to do” and decided to do one a day for a week. I also then made sure I slotted time that allowed me to have my evenings free, as I really did not focus on my blog then and so felt that this would be a time that I took to just “chill” and be open.
One week
at a time, whoa, OK so now I have a Sunday to Saturday layout, and I broke it down more. It is allowing this to happen, to make the time for things that make you happy. You make time to shower, and get ready for a job, and feed your family, so make the time for yourself. This is what I am focusing on. One week at a time, then one day at a time.
My day 
Broken into time slots I allowed myself huge chunks of time for each purpose, simply because my focus seems to need longer, so I created the time. This includes larger chunks of time for all the new things I want to tackle
i.e.. 3-hour window to workout, and planning to be home after all the town stuff. This also allows the feeling of perfectionism to take a back seat because I know I do not need to have everything known and finished immediately.
