I always tend to focus on the fact that as bad as it may seem, being broke is worse. Also, this is temporary. You will be able to find another job.

For organisation purposes, I do a weekly itinerary, and I always make sure to schedule time for the penny-anty crap that needs to be done to keep me organised, e.g. updating call logs. I also keep a work journal, so to speak. It's just a steno book, but I write down phone calls and what they concern, and reminders for things I need to follow up on. It also gives me one-stop shopping for phone numbers/email addresses when I go to update my iPaq.
