1. (You’ve heard it before, but it’s critical) Set time goals, not accomplishment goals. If I tell myself: ”I’ll get this project done before noon!”
and then I don’t, I get disheartened. But, if I say: I’ll do 2 hours before 10am, thats easy!
2. Just break off that first layer of work. Idk what your job is but like for example: simply import the footage. put in one little chunk of data into excel. code 16 lines (is that a lot?) carve one peg. draw just the outline, etc, etc. you get the idea. For me, just getting one tiny part done puts into perspective how fast I could do it, and that helps a lot
