Laziness is the engine of progress. If not for her, there would be no remote controls, the car and the electric stove would not have been invented … But sometimes laziness gets in the way. For example, you need to finish some business, but because of laziness you cannot do it in any way. And business is important, but laziness is stronger.

Step 1
Answer the question: "Does this work really need to be done?" If so, answer the following question: "Can someone else make it?" If not, then you have to do it.
Step 2
Find the pros at work. Usually people are motivated by the result that they will receive as a result of the actions performed. The work itself is less attractive. Most likely, you are not interested in the work, and the result does not motivate (otherwise, you would go to it). Then remember how Tom Sawyer motivated his friends to paint the fence, he made a fascinating adventure out of a boring business. Become Tom Sawyer for yourself.
In any, even the most uninteresting work, there is always a place for a holiday. Writing reports, holding meetings, or cleaning the workplace can be fun and exciting. But for this you need to turn on your imagination.
For example, look at the situation from the outside. It’s as if you’re not holding the meeting, but the actor on stage. Evaluate how he plays his role, does he succeed in psychological nuances in negotiation? Just do not confuse this technique with narcissism, the keywords in the example are: a view from the outside.
This is just one of the techniques, if you don't like it, come up with another, but never forget: any work must be done with high quality.
Step 3
Agree with yourself that if you do not complete the work on time, you will part with a significant amount for you. For example, give the beggars $ 100 (or $ 1000, depending on your income) or buy toys for the orphanage with this money. It is advisable that you have prior agreement with one of your friends.
Example. Your friend calls you Wednesday night and asks if your quarterly report is ready? You say, "No, I'm not ready." A friend suggests to go to the Children's World for toys on Friday. You agree.
An outsider in this case is needed so that you do not have the opportunity to deceive yourself.
