Use your completed tasks as a morale booster
I often feel like I haven’t been doing much. Like I’ve got tons of stuff to do and I’ve been a lazy sonofabitch. Those sort of days it’s really easy to end up not doing much for real.
If you keep your to-do lists on pieces of paper, kgtd, iGTD or some sort of software that keeps track of the things you have to do, make sure to at least glance at your completed tasks every once in a while. It will be a healthy reminder that even though you still haven’t developed super human powers to do all you’d like in one day, you do get things done.
Review your completed tasks for a morale boost
Be proud of each completed task. They might not be such a big deal individually, but after all, it’s the accumulation of completed next actions that lead you to marking an entire project as complete.
