What I'm finding helpful, is asking myself "is this going to be a royal pain tomorrow if I don't handle it today?" (yes!!) and figuring out what daily habits I need and how long they are going to take. Then I make a checklist, knowing roughly how much time I need to commit to it, and practice going down the list daily until the habit begins to stick. If I feel completely unmotivated, I again ask myself "How am I going to feel tomorrow if I blow it off? How will I feel if I just get it done consistently?"
