It is incredibly hard to stay on track while pursuing long-term goals which do not give visible results right away. There are some options to do it: Just make a system and let discipline help you, for example do your task every day from that time to that time; use habits instead of doing stuff only if you are motivated Daily do 3 work things and 1 fun thing to reward yourself (as Erin McGoff suggests) Do what you like and don't do what you don't -- interesting advice I heard bloggers use, but in my opinion not always applicable, especially if you cannot outsource the tasks you don't like to do Put paper clips or marbles from full jar to an empty one after each task (from Atomic habits book, old school version of task tracker, which I find more enjoyable for brain) Create a mood board to visualize your goals and dreams to help you go in the right direction, put it in a visible spot (screensaver works too) But there are still moments of struggle. How do you cope with the lack of motivation and desire to do something while building a product or posting content?
