You need habits that reward your dopamine triggers in a sustainable way. Some people that's big projects being done and they can ride that high. Others need small tasks and a checklist. Still others are in between and require both.

I require small dopamine hits throughout the day. Big projects mean nothing to me.

(Dopamine in this case is stuff that makes me feel good. I care not to debate if that's the right word.)
