As for karma, the trick is just not caring very much.

I find that when opening the website, my first (and very quick) glance is invariably directed at my karma score, even when I have not posted recently.

I wish there was a userstyle or some other way to hide karma. The LW anti-kibitzer is inaccessible at this time and I'm not even sure it hides self karma. I promise to upvote any solution to this.

Maybe "span.monthly-score {display:none;} span.score {display:none;}" in userstyle would help?

I promise to upvote any solution to this.

Unfortunately, everyone who has a solution is already using it, and thus cannot see their own karma--and is therefore not motivated by the reward you've offered! :)

Well, if at least one of my upvotes is from a person who tested my solution, I would be a partial counterexample - I do look at my karma for latest posts, and although it is not a good motivation per se, using upvote count as a data point for what and when is valued by LW is a minor amusement for me.

For the record: anti-kibitzer (I force-start it via a domain-specific user script) hides your cumulative score, but not last-month score.
