When I did remote work I had a similar issue, and still have it with my own projects. The way I overcome the self-lag is to compartmentalize - I have an internal boss hat / worker hat. When I think about goals, timelines, progress etc. and set those goals I don't think in terms of "I want to / need to", but "My $boss would want /need..." and think of bosses that I respected and did good work for.
tl:dr; I get myself into the headspace that I'm working for someone else to overcome my own ability to undervalue my own projects.
Great hack. I need to try this. I used to use the self audit approach where I'd critically review my own work as a boss on a weekly sit down. What's funny is it allows you to be empathetic to yourself. Kind of counter intuitive
