The best tip I ever learned was the twenty minute rule.
It's daunting to think about carrying a task to completion, but very easy to commit twenty minutes to dishes, cleaning the bathroom, gardening, drawing, whatever. You can get a lot done in an hour by working at different things twenty minutes at a time.
More often than not I blow through the amount of time I tell myself I'm going to spend. One of the few examples where lying to myself produces a positive result, and keeps working. even though, by now, I know I'm lying to myself.
Exactly, it tricks you into believing in yourself. Just don't tell the others, let them find out for themselves.
