One of the best ways to motivate yourself
to use the Dead End (DE) strategy is to share your dead ends with another
person, and then report back to them on your progress.
Depending on the DE you choose to work on, this may need to be a person
you really trust not to reveal your DE to anyone it might insult or otherwise
negatively effect. Your partner should be someone you can be honest with.
Sometimes it's good to choose someone who has the same or similar DE
of their own. On the other hand, sometimes it's good to find someone
whose neural paths are not stimulated by the same DE. These folks may
be more objective in helping you work with your DE.
