Because of this, there is financial advice to pay back the smallest loan first and work your way up to the bigger ones. It doesn't make any sense financially, but helps with motivation.

"Never waste motivation" is a favorite saying of mine. You can always think up some excuse for not doing the thing you should be doing, so if ever you randomly feel like putting effort into that thing, freaking do it. Don't think, just DO
