I make a grid of squares to supplement my todo list. For each item on my todo list that I complete I fill in a square on the page. It's a great way of visualizing how much stuff you're getting done and it can be a surprisingly good motivator. You can even get fancier and arrange the page so that each square corresponds to a day on a calendar grid but then you need to come up with some criteria on what deserves a checkmark since you only get one.
