Commit to Reflect and Reward:
Once the task is completed, stop and observe what has been accomplished.  Take some time to enjoy the “fruits of your labor.”  Allow yourself to feel a sense of triumph and pride.  Next, evaluate what you have learned and decide what you will do differently next time.  Conducting a postmortem will improve your future performance.  Finally, what was the nice thing you had planned to do to reward yourself, your family or your team?  This “reward time” is where you celebrate the great work done by all.  Having a reward planned before you at the start is also useful throughout the process to provide motivation and encouragement when things are not going well.

Commit to Set “Time Frame” Goals:
A strategy requires deadlines as well as interim dates for progress checks.  Determine a completion date for every component of the project.  Remember that some dates established at the beginning of the project will be unattainable and will need to be adjusted because of unexpected delays.

Commit to Manage Distractions and Interruptions:
Many articles have been written on how to eliminate and avoid distractions and interruptions. Unfortunately, elimination and avoidance does not work.  Distractions and interruptions will come. It is our  job analyze them and determine their importance.  Based on your goals and objectives, decide if something should be dealt with immediately, set aside with a future date assigned, or simply ignored.
