Play a game

Have a lot to get done? Play a game. See how many things you can get done by 4:45.
Have a task that you're dreading? Play a game. Promise yourself that once you do that, you reward yourself with a candy bar or hour off.
Don't know what to do next? Play a game. Pick a bunch of things and do them in alphabetical order.

Just because we have to do stuff, doesn't mean it has to be a downer.
Think of this:
If you were told you needed to advance ten yards in four attempts or you'd fail and then have to make sure your opponent couldn't advance ten yards in four attempts, wouldn't that seem like torture? Or you could call it football and make it a game.
