Ask HN: Have any good self-hacks for finding motivation to start projects?

I have a couple projects and self-improvement things I would like to start / continue on, but I find I'm lacking the motivation.

I'm a bit high inertia, once I'm going on something I usually keep going, but getting moving takes energy. I've got the time, so that's not really the issue.

Any tips or tricks to get motivated? I've seen some people who seem to somehow trick themselves into getting dopamine hits off of even somewhat boring work or practice. I always wished I could replicate that somehow
