Being a father of two small children, the time for extra-curricular activities (i.e. development) is very limited.
Breaking up tasks into bite-size bits (GTD anyone?) is a good way of moving forward. Instead of designing a total view, I can set as a target to place a single button. It leads to a sense of achievement, and keeps me moving forward.
If the target is too ambitious, I don’t reach it, and demotivation sets in.
Common sense, I know, but sometimes the simple things are obscured.
