Trying to summon the motivation
I'm self employed, I work out of the house, I have no boss standing over my shoulder. Another thing that helps motivate me is I keep a daily log of everything I do. This log is then shared with 3 other people; folks that I work with and answer to. It's like the gold star on the board in elementary school. I want my daily logs to show I'm valuable to them in little ways. This makes me accountable for my time.
