You could find a young man looking to make a few bucks and have him dig while you lay the bricks out and put your plants in. I always had a few strong young guys and girls willing to do a little work for cold cash.
That motivated me to get it done before they got busy doing something else. 4951

I look for small wins. The whole thing doesn't have to happen all at once.
Make a list of the actions required to get it done and start checking them off.
You can start with something simple like getting all the tools together that you need.
Maybe go out side a few time a day and literally just dig a few shovels full.
It's that simple. 4951

@beadweaver : Couldn't agree more. Money motivates me as well as others. It just takes a lot more of it to motivate me. 4951

@Emperor_og_kingwood :
Even if I do get a strong young helper, I always start at $10 an hour or by the job. I always pay a man's wage. Don't matter the age or gender, if the ability is there and they aren't slackers, all will be good. Work for me and slack, do a ****** job, you are done and gone. I'm not afraid of the work and if it wasn't for the old woman that has taken over every fiber of my being and one good day's work can knock me down for a week. Easier to pay a good helper. 4951

@Emperor_og_kingwood :
That is the rate of a man's pay vs a women's or child. If I hired a man to move some block, he's gonna charge me a day's pay. When I hire a friend's kid or someone in the area willing and able to do it, I pay him what a man would expect. Only the kids get lunch and they get to take breaks to swim and cool off when I had a pool. Everyone gets cold drinks and cookies. 4951

I just give myself a talking to, like:
 
"OK, you old fart- time to get your fat *** up and head to the athletic club! You will feel better when you are done!"
 
Works every time ( 5-6 times a week). 4951

. Just start with 1 small task and see where it leads.
 
@RaggedyAnn : That is exactly what I do. I tell myself that I can go out for 20 minutes or so and just do a little - there's always tomorrow. I went out around noon today to finish digging up some raggedy Hawthorns to replace them with some Pittisprorum. I have about 6-7 to replace. I've already done 2 and still need to do 5-6 more. So I went out today intending to just do at least 1 more then clean out the weeds and stuff - thinking maybe 20 minutes or so. Before I knew it, I had trimmed to the ground 4 of them and cleaned up the crap in the bed. I still need to dig up the old ones so I can see where to place the new plants. Tomorrow is another day! I'll get 'er done sooner or later but just doing a little at a time goes faster than I thought. 4951
