6. Positive Validation

Celebrate every little win to motivate yourself for the next task.

Example:

I crossed three things off my list by lunchtime, so I treated myself to a quick game on my phone as a reward.

Application:

Each time you finish something, reward yourself—whether it’s a 5-minute break, a snack, or just crossing it off your list. Train your brain to associate productivity with positive feelings, so it craves more of it.
