Getting things done

Success spirals are many small victories that each boost motivation. The brain enjoys a small success as much as it does a big one.

Use a list full of finished jobs to remind yourself of successes. It's motivating to see checked-off to-do items.

Add finished tasks to a checklist even if they were not planned.

When you imagine your future self, employ mental contrasting; first think of where you are now. That makes all the difference.

Fantasizing about where you would like to be worsens the outcome of your plans.

You're contrasting your goal against your present state. Good. But think specially on the benefits of meeting the goal.
