I was a terrible developer for many years because of my inability to properly communicate progress. Because there wasn't any for the most part. Parkinson's Law is REAL. Beware! I ended it by religiously adhering to a rule to commit every little bit of progress, as I go. There's only one deadline: today. It completely changed my career.
Keep your commit stream going. If you're starting something from scratch, do a commit with a message like "Something (1)" and then increment the index and commit every iteration. You can merge these commits down the road for a cleaner history, but pushing soon and often is KEY to building momentum.
