Quick Motivation and Task Management Trick to Finish Projects Faster

Oftentimes, I reached the deadline and had to finish my project in one night, but still had no motivation. I bought caffeinated drinks (w/ taurine like redbull) and had a few sips. This immediately kicked me in and made me a typing machine. So, I'd say caffeine might work, but if you are resistant or want to consume less, I'd say tea or coffee might also help. You could also try a few other alternatives stimulants like ginseng, yerba mate, and theanine. Apart from chemical stimulants, you can watch any motivational video, listen to uplifting music or read something that spark your nerves. But all these will be the temporary stimulations. In order to build up a habit of completing "tasks". I made a plan that effectively helped me finish faster. 1. plan a work duration (3-4 hours or less) 2. Split my (today's) task into multiple sub-tasks 3. Try to complete each task within 20 minutes. Even if I couldn't complete in 20 minutes, I'd still leave it be, mark it as "partially completed", and jump to another task. Then restart the partially completed tasks after completing the remaining ones. I did this in order to keep my motivation throughout the day. Sometimes, our tasks are too complex (esp. coding, designing, or research) that a simple 5-minute task would take 5 hours, thereby hindering our productivity and blocking other tasks, resulting in loss of motivation.
