Go back to the drawing board and seek advice. Once you identify what the challenges are, you can work on what to do about them. Look for solutions instead of dwelling on the problem.

Committing to a healthier routine may be the simple switch you need to organise your time to fit the things you need to do to find your flow. Be mindful of how you use your time once you identify what is making you feel stuck.
