Hey @humbledwriter! Here's a little piece of advice. In my end, I organize my life in a manner it's impossible not to reach my goals. I set annual goals to start with. You might want to consider that first. Your yearlong goals will be your compass all throughout the year and all your actions, activities and schedules will have to work around it/them. I set everything up from workout routines every day or at least 4 times a week, events and activities I need to show up, travel destinations and travel dates, so on and so forth. My boyfriend and I even schedule our "babe time". We have limited time so we have to make the most of out it.

For Hive, what I do is I write all the things I HAVE to write within a given month. They're all scheduled. From what post and when to post it. This way all other things will also fall into place. This technique has helped me. I hope it will help you, too. We aren't motivated all the time, we have to foster our self-discipline. :)
