Move the reward closer perceptually . i.e., imagine already having the rewards you will get, viewing them as imminent and certain.
This is not a panacea, of course; there are dozens of things that can interfere with you actually doing it, as I mentioned in my video on this. And one I didn’t mention is that if there is anything you perceive as bad about reaching your goal, then that is also going to be magnified by bringing it perceptually closer to you.
