If you struggle to stay motivated on tasks that feel boring or overwhelming, try focusing on tiny wins instead of waiting for the big finish.

For example, chores like doing laundry, tidying a room, or organizing your workspace can feel endless. Instead of only celebrating finishing the whole thing, reward yourself for completing small parts. Fold one basket of laundry, sort one drawer, or clear one shelf, and give yourself a small, immediate acknowledgment — like a short break, a few minutes of a favorite hobby, or checking off a tiny goal in a habit tracker.

I’ve found that logging these mini accomplishments in a digital wellness tool — just as a simple tracker, not for competition — makes the wins more visible. Seeing a small streak of progress keeps momentum going, even on the days motivation is low.

A fun twist: some friends of mine celebrate tiny wins socially — like giving a “high-five” when someone completes a small task — which makes even mundane chores feel rewarding.

The key idea: celebrate the steps, not just the finish line. Turning tiny actions into visible achievements can dramatically improve consistency and keep you motivated over time.
