This is not unconventional, but this works for me. I paid for a gym membership plus personal training ahead of time. I don't like to waste money, so I have to show up. And I have an accountability partner aka my husband who would never miss a day at the gym. It forces me to at least leave my computer and go do something else. Working out works wonders on my mental health.

Another thing that helps is blocking out my calendar way ahead of time. Basically, when I start the job, I just block out all the times that I'm out of office.
