space it out. 2 for the morning, 2 for the afternoon, 2 for the evening. this is an example where a to-do list may not be desirable compared to a time-block schedule or other organization method.

organize them into priorities of what needs to be done first and last. this will help give some order and help make the list less daunting since you know what to do, in what order.

make it seem easier and less daunting by labeling them with the approximate amount of time it'll take. if one task seems too long, u can cut down the approximate time required just a little as a means of "deception," or break it down into smaller chunks that require less time.

don't overwhelm yourself with too many tasks. try giving some variety in the types of tasks if that works for you. can help make the large list of small tasks seem less daunting.

it's like sorting out a tall pile of papers. sort them into different, smaller piles for different categories first, then focus only on each one at a time. it will seem less overwhelming and time will pass quicker cuz u can put ur mind to the task.

In this case, person can consult a trusted individual for help or break up considering the pros and cons + research of the possible decisions into small chunks. they can first come up with a general outline of what they desire/prefer before choosing between the decisions to make sorting out their options easier.

why we must prevent burnout. the negative emotions that come with mental and physical collapse make us say, "I don't feel like it" and lead us to feel more negative. Overtime, without the proper mindset of resetting the negative emotions and without proper rest, the negative feelings associated with the work will lead to increased procrastination.

take intentional breaks.

The overjustification effect is caused by (over-rewarding or unnecessary/superficial ?) extrinsic rewarding over something that the rewarded person is already doing or already has, such as a hobby or characteristic (playing with toys or intelligence).

In that case, what of complimenting artists by saying that they are so talented and that one can only wish to [do the activity] as well as them?

Participation rewards are probably an example of extrinsic rewarding that causes the overjustification effect.

Are there any situations in which the overjustification effect might be useful, despite it generally being a negative phenomenon?
