Small victories.

Start with the smallest, simplest task you can complete. The endorphins from that you apply to the next small job and so on. Ideally each of these small tasks move you a tiny step towards your end goal(s).

The idea is to create and maintain a positive flow / momentum. If you stumble step back to something smaller and regain momentum. The difference with discipline (also a valuable trait) is that a good flow makes you _want_ instead of _need_, a more positive and less stressful mindset.
