I keep it simple personally. I make a Trello checklist at the start of a project that gives me a % completed as I go and I find it very motivating.

I also have an app called "Forest" that I bust out anytime things get real bad. It "grows" a tree as long as you don't look at your phone for whatever time you set. I find it is super helpful, since I don't want to "kill the tree".

Lastly, sometimes just walking around, taking a run up and down the stairs, or around the block can help me feel more focused and get out the extra energy.

Definitely +1 to just walking around.
