This is what helps me the most. I like to break down any large/daunting tasks into a bunch of small milestones. It makes it much easier to know where to start. You also feel like you have completed something and you have a defined place where you can take a break or pick up later.

I also find the actual task of breaking something large down into small pieces gets me thinking about the actual task rather than the abstract "big task" and gets me more motivated. Think of it like brain storming.
