It's a bad cliche, but it fits. I've struggled with this myself. It's hard to stay focused at times. I like your tips though. It's important to have something to look forward to.

I also made small goals to achieve each month and it helped keep me focus on the end goal. I think the fatigue contributes to the procrastination as well.

We returned from our first extended trip last October, and we have nothing on the horizon (as far as a BIG trip) planned, so I know how you're feeling. After traveling nonstop for so long, and now having only made it away for a couple of weekends, it's agonizing to just sit here and wait for the next trip to come along. I know when we first returned I didn't even read many travel blogs or write much at all because I was just too depressed that the whole thing was over. It was ridiculous of course because we should never really lament the past that much, but I just couldn't shake it for the first couple of months. I love the planning small milestones tip. That is really helpful. We decided we want to get back to money saving mode, so a real vacation is just not in the cards for us, so we decided to just take long weekend trips every 6-8 weeks in the time being. That at least has us looking forward to something. The next one's this weekend, too, so we're both fired up this week and ready to go. Great tips.
