My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 9 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather than motivation. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Great point, especially the part about weekend. For me it came down to the first draft.
