I've certainly experienced this. The best way I've found to break this cycle is to make a list of thing you want to accomplish that day (of course, mine are typically unrealistically long), and get two (or however many) done *before you even turn on the computer*. If your worklist involves the computer, then I set a time limit (sometime with a kitchen timer!) to get it done. I do not visit my *fun* sites until that stuff is complete. I also try to time schedule my list, as in: By 12 I will have this, this and this done.

If I can manage to get started strong, I find I get kinda caught up in the joy of getting things done, and can continue.

If I really want to laze my early morning away in front of the computer, once again, set a timer. It's kinda hard for me to do anything else in the morn on weekends, as hubby sleeps later than me, and I don't want to make noise and wake him on the weekend, when he's supposed to be able to sleep in.

Good luck with that!
