I shouldn't be giving advice because I'm probably worse about this than you, but I've read a lot of books on the subject and tried a lot of things. Some things I've had success with: - journal/Todo lists, just the act of writing about what I want to do seems to make it real, till I start procrastinating about journalling ;-/ - say "I want to" instead of "I have to" or "I need to". You do what you want right!? - set a timer, do some work, then reward yourself by setting a shorter timer and having some fun - get an accountability partner, schedule a call where you discuss each other's goals, bust their balls

Good luck finding a solution and if you do tell me how you did it!
