Clear statement of tasks - the brain gets tired of uncertainty when the scope of the task or its essence is not clear.

That's a real challenge, however, what I try to do usually is to break down each task I need to do daily and set a specific doable limit or objective for each. It'll help me to get motivated to do the task and keep going quickly.
