When I'm having trouble getting motivated I break up the work into small, manageable chunks, and then make deals with myself: when I've finished this chunk (reading a chapter, writing 3 paragraphs, whatever) I get the reward (browsing TFP for 1/2 hour, playing a game, eating chocolate). It takes longer to finish the work but I get it done and have some fun in the process.
