That sounds like a good principle in managing oneself too. Work in feedback for every mini-milestone into your work rhythm. Training the subconscious to do (automatically know what to do next, want to do it, get on it) is the self-management goal. Do something measurable, and arrange things to experience some meaningful response to any milestone. I may be doing this when I design and code in different rooms of my house. Obviously speed isn't the main point of either task. But my subconscious definitely registers "I completed an actionable part of the design" as I move from living room to my study to code. And vice versa. Helps that this mini-milestone context-switching "feedback" is a natural part of doing the work. Part of the flow.
