Job aint done 'til the tools are put away. "left to my own devices" ... be your own boss. When you're working for others you're thinking of their judgment of your efforts, when you're working without that prompt you wander and forget why you wanted the thing. So take the approach of assigning tasks to you as a job; and think "would I be satisfied with an employee who delivered this?" Perhaps "partnering" would help; I find the coordination overhead to be more cost than benefit but I'm weird. But having a source of external judgment, for both of you, might well be a motivation worth experimenting with.
