To be honest, I am not sure what is meant by the word “hack” but I understand this question is how do I keep myself motivated. The first thing I do is take a break. I always find that when I step away for a little while and come back later, things look better. Also, I make sure to remind myself of why I am doing what I do. You can not forget why you are where you are. Remind yourself of what you have accomplished so far and use that as motivation to keep pressing forward.
