How do you maintain motivation when working on long term projects?

Making small daily goals to complete larger tasks. Even if it is just to get only a section of a page with workflows complete, you will feel accomplished and can do the same thing the next day. Small wins keeps up the motivation!

Challenging the why; when we become demotivated we either forget why we started in the first place or our why has actually changed

I feel like going back to why you started in the first place is a good way to remind yourself why you are doing that thing.

I break the big project into small goals. Celebrating little wins helps a lot! Also, I remind myself why I started and what the end result will look like. When it gets tough, I take short breaks or switch to another task to stay fresh. Finding a buddy to check in with also keeps me accountable.

By keeping the end goal in mind and working towards it everyday.

Breaking larger tasks into smaller daily goals can lead to steady progress and sustained motivation. For instance, focusing on completing just one section of a workflow each day creates a sense of achievement. These small wins build momentum, making it easier to maintain consistency and tackle the next step with confidence

Break tasks into small wins and switch things up to keep it fresh!

Setting up realistic KPIs on the way to help keep tracking of the project development. It is great to chunk long term projects into smaller steps to keep your motivation up and running.

Little wins add up and make the journey way more fun!

Roadmapping! I love tracking my efforts and results they've given. So basically it's like: "What have I achieved past two months and how can I ensure that next 2 months are more productive?" This keeps me going. At least, for now :)

Set small goals, celebrate little wins, and remind ourself why you started. It helps you to stay focused and enjoy the process.
