I think your tip No. 8 (Look for ways to break large tasks down into bite size pieces) is a great piece of advice. Often people put off doing something because they simply feel overwhelmed by the size of the task. Doing small tasks seems much more manageable to them and lets them see the light at the end of the tunnel. Very Good Post.

Why? Either through learned behaviour or an unconscious fear of success. Both reasons are deeply seated in the subconscious, and can be tackled through willpower - with great difficulty - or can be attacked at the root - at the level of the subconscious mind. I've written an article that goes into depth into both of these ways.

Splitting a long task (home decorating? homework?) into 55 minute stretches with a "reward" break at the end - cup of tea and a cookie? Look at the paper? for 5-10 minutes works well.
