I like #2. And used to struggle with that a lot.

I have found journaling pretty helpful for that.

I have a note on my mobile which is called “Steps in the right direction”.

At the end of every day, I write down at least one beneficial thing I had done.

It could have been anything. From small things, like booking a call, to bigger activities, like publishing an article on my Substack (including one on this topic).

Pretty helpful to keep sense of progress and motivation.

Thanks for sharing about your journey.

Love this! With regard to the second tip about celebrations, there’s something special about it being a nontangible experience. Something you enjoy, and then is gone--just like the experience of working. So you then have to get back to work again afterwards to get the next celebratory experience :)
