Give yourself rewards. If you get stuck with something don&#39;t spend too long on it &#8211; move on and come back to it later. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kathi E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Keep a list of things you can do in different situations: waiting for something, online, at work, errands. Then do things when you&#39;re in that situation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elisa T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you have one big task that you\u2019re avoiding, let yourself do all the small tasks that you suddenly feel compelled to do in order to avoid it. Stopping yourself from following those impulses and forcing yourself to focus on the one task at hand often doesn\u2019t work. Atleast you can get something done, feel productive, and if you don\u2019t end up doing the task, atleast you\u2019ve accomplished other things you needed to do anyway.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Charlie E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Define what you want. Define your time increment. Clear distractions. Work in that time increment. Take occasional breaks and mark your progress. Spend bulk of time working in those time increments.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jacob Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The advice that it is often better to just start writing things down and create a draft version of your work instead of wanting to create a perfect version right away. That last option often leads to slower progress. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Florent Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The Eisenhower quadrant of importance versus urgency. Then doing pomodoro technique on the important stuff every day despite the urgent stuff. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ruby C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You always feel better when you have been productive. It helps you feel more deserving of the rest.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jeremiah N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">This one was suggested by my Dad.<br \/>\nHe calls it \u201cIncentive induced productivity\u201d.<br \/>\nFix the number of hours you want to work in a day. After you complete the number of hours you have fixed, you can spend the rest of your time for doing something fun.<br \/>\nDoing this makes you wake up early in the morning, complete your tasks, and have fun. This is better than taking breaks between work and ending up feeling like you were working the whole day.<br \/>\nNote : It is important that you plan what you will do in your fun time to keep you motivated <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Luis N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">my best advice was to not give up.
