I am at the stage where I just have to mentally say to myself "from today I am going to do such and such for so long..." and that's enough to get me started and keep me going. I just write down my starting date for reference.

When I was new to all this I would write down my goal on a 3x5" card and keep it with me and read it through out the day. I would also set my watch to beep every hour. This way every time the watch beeped, I would either read my card, or remind myself of my goal. Worked quite effectively.

Also, on another note. When you're starting out, it's better to start with just one thing. As your confidence and your discipline grows, you can actually do many different trials in different areas of your life, at the same time, quite easily.
