I'd like to think I've been getting better at it. I find that I'm more familiar with what successfully finishing a task "feels like".

- doing the less appealing subtasks you've been putting off. it's objectively more difficult towards the end if you work this way.

- not treating "it works" as a finish line, remembering there might be more steps like code review, writing tests, and so on.

- avoid self-punishing comments like "I wanted to finish this on Friday and it's not done yet".

this often combines with the previous point - "I felt the task is done when it worked, but now I have to do all the tedious things like tests and I already declared it to be done on Friday!"
