Tell yourself you'll try to work for like 5-10 minutes or on the shortest, easiest task you have, and that if you aren't focusing on it, you'll take another break after 10. It's easier to sit down to 10 minutes of work without being committed to a ton after, and it can get you to focus and actually work for an hour plus sometimes.
This actually does work sometimes but not every time. Especially if I'm tired. As soon as those 10 min is up i immediately shift my fokus away from anything work related. I guess sleep will help, but going to bed in a timely manner is hard when you have low will power.
