I used to talk to myself like a drill sergeant, and it never once got me to make the thing. This is how I get myself moving as an INFP, using a quest instead of a whip.
The word motivation can sound like a boss yelling at you. A lot of us feel we should just be able to do it, so we turn into our own commander and try to whip ourselves into shape.
What works better for me is looking for what inspires me. Once I know that, I can take the quest from there.

Why motivation feels so heavy for many INFPs
Two kinds of inspiration: what you want in your life, and what you'd hate to have in it
The regret question I ask myself when I'm stuck
How to be your own quest giver, with a Why, a What, and a rough How
Why a big Why can carry you even when you don't know the steps
