"What gets measured gets done".
So I have no idea who said this, but I can swear to its usefulness.
And I interpret this to mean: track your progress... for everything.
My system of tracking progress is very simple. (Email me if you're interested in the details.)
What I have is a spreadsheet that has a place for the date, current projects, and a spot for notes. At the end of the day, I put a checkmark down for each project I made progress on, make any notes, or add a big fat "0" if nothing got done.
It's very motivating to quantify your success (in whatever manner is appropriate for you).
Try it out, and see what works.

i bet your '0' key is almost worn out
Scott,
I agree. I've been tyring to stop complaining and it's difficult. However, I have become more aware of it and am able to check myself by keeping track of it over at Joe's Goals. I have tracker on my blog so everyone can see my progress. I'm sure your system works just as well or better. Seeing how I'm doing has a big impact on my behavior.

@ MikeB: I absolutely identify with your goal--complaining can really interfere with lot of activities and developing a positive mindset can take some serious time and energy at first. It's really rewarding, stick with it.
Talk soon,
Scott
