I really struggle with this too, my whole life really. I hate it. What I've found the only thing that works well is to have daily scrums with the small team where you say what you've achieved. The deadline makes me try to get something done every day. I think maybe having two quick updates a day might work even better. Probably pair programming is a good solution too but I detest it so much...
