The one check, check list. Momentum!
Then after the task is done if you're feeling up to it go ahead and write a new task down! If you're not up to it forget about it; you just had a long day of work and already completed your first list!
Aside from that, do what you can to try and shuffle around life to fit in some solid blocks of time. For example: I was able to get my work to let me work a 4 day every other week, giving me one 8ish hour day to devote to my preferred work.
Keep up the momentum!
