Well, these were my tips really. Um, I can try to do a more in depth post later perhaps. I DO make sure I work on my stuff for X amount of hours a day. For me, I have no "regular" job but I publish books/sell art. So, I treat that like a real job. I wake up and do just that for like 6 hours.
I also keep my work area/room clean and organized so I am not stressed out about such things.
Just make sure to make guidelines and stick to em. I had no accountability buddy other than myself.
If you have any specific questions I can try to answer them. :)
