"Before you open your favorite blogs or read the news, look at your to-do list and work on your first task until you can cross it off," Jacinto said. "Afterwards, treat yourself to five minutes of Instagram scrolling [or] checking Tumblr posts. Set an actual alarm on your phone so you know when reward time is over and it's time to move on to the next project." Compensating yourself after getting something significant done is an awesome way to stay on the path. (Plus, that alarm hack is fab!)
