    It helps a lot if you actually want to lose weight, change jobs, give up smoking etc

    I just tell myself I have nothing better to do. The problems occur when you find other things to do and have to assess their worth.

    You don't need to diet - just skip breakfast.

    'If you don't get up and go to work you'll be fired' usually works for me.

    Stop masturbating every day, it works wonders. I stopped masturbating every day for about a week once and I got loads of stuff done. The following week I masturbated twice a day to make up for it.

    So, you're saying you only get things done in spurts.
