losing motivation

Well, too many at one time can be daunting. One thing that I have found that helps me as I am studying multiple languages at a time is to have a solid, specific reason and goal for each one. I'm old enough to predate the Internet, so you can consider yourself fortunate to have resources like cchatty where native speakers can help you learn from accross the globe.

Keep your eyes on a goal, or make specific short-term goals for each language. When making goals, be sure that they are SMART goals:
S - Specific. You need to have a clear definition of what you are trying to do so you can know when you're done. A vague goal is "become fluent in Mandarin." A specific goal is "Pass HSKv3 Level 6 some day."
M - Measurable. It is not enough to be clear, but you need to measure your progress so it is OBVIOUS when you have reached the goal. Again, "fluent" is not really measurable, while a passing grade on an exam is.
A - Achievable. This ties back to the S and M points. It needs to be something that can be done. For example, passing an exam is achievable as long as the exam itself is reasonable.
R - Realistic. For example, starting from zero Chinese and having a goal of passing HSK(v3) level 6 in three months is not going to happen, even if you move to China. Failure is discouaging, so you need to make you goals possible so you can build on past successes, both by building toward future goals and by having successes so you don't give up.
T - Timely. While long-term goals are great, it is easy to lose heart if the goal is too far out in the future. For example, my eventual goal for Mandarin is to pass HSKv3 Level 8, but that is too far out in the future, so I need a shorter-term goal, in this case, being able to pass an online simulated HSK2 within six months from now. (I have a good bit of time behind me leaning, so I'm just filling in gaps caused by the change in the material in the exams with v3.)

I hope this helps.
