Work in moderation and brainstorm small concrete tasks you can do that will count towards some measure of completion for the project the previous night. It's a lot easier to get started when you're not staring at a mountain and just have a set to do list. Rinse and repeat each day.If you're working on this only in the evening or something, work on the list from the previous day, stop early before you go to bed and come up with set plans. This counts for things you have to learn to execute these projects. Try to maximize your time by prioritizing things that could count towards both projects where possible. Much of your progress or sense of accomplishment will come from completing small milestones, and have a huge impact after you're able to look back on it. The key to this is to keeping the tasks small enough.
