Sheer bribery.
Promise yourself a certain reward after meeting particular goals, and do it. For instance, I love to indulge in a good recreational reading session, or play World of Warcraft, but I get what I need to get done before I allow myself to relax and engage in recreational activities.
Lists are great for keeping track of what you need to do. I have three lists going at all times--one for keeping track of chores, one for keeping track of to-do items, and one for keeping track of assignments. When I need to know what needs doing, the lists are there. I also keep a dry erase calendar on my bedroom wall with all my important events listed on it.
So, keep track of your shit, do your shit, and reward yourself for doing it.
