What I was *going* to say was, meghods M is exactly like most of your friends list (I guess he really was born to be a musician), and I think I do self-motivation by a reward system. I make a list of necessary jobs (or several dozen lists if I've just moved house *sigh*), then reward myself once they're done by doing something just for me, like painting or writing. And in fact it's neatly self-regulating, since if I slack too much in the mornings I don't get the necessary stuff done before the light goes or M gets home for dinner or whatever, so laziness is self-discouraging because it means I lose out on my me-time reward.
