Lately, every time I'm done with work and have some time in which I could be getting things done, I find myself staring at my terminal doing nothing, or at least nothing productive. I've barely gotten anything off of my to do list for a few weeks, especially a number of code-related things that I really wanted to have finished weeks or months ago.
I think I have become to willing to do nothing because I don't "feel like" doing anything. Starting today, I am going to try to tell myself "tough crap" whenever I try telling myself, "I don't feel like working on that."
I'd really like to get some things done!

Actually, the single most effective motivator for me is productive co-workers. When other people near me are doing cool, innovative things it really inspires me. That's one of the reasons I hate working from home.
