Not a complete solution, but I’ll throw in some tips:

1. Don’t show anyone. For me, this saps my interest by providing premature reward for my hard work. Keep it secret except from people helping you directly on the heavy lifting.

2. Will is a muscle. Strengthen it by doing other things religiously. For example, brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand. Go to the gym 3 times per week. Etc.

3. Read “War of Art” by Steven Pressfield. This book will teach you how to use resistance instead of succumb to it.
