I've read about the Five Second Rule on a TED Talk. When you're not motivated, just count to 5 and then just DO IT!

This trains your mind to just work after 5 counts. In the beginning it'll be difficult but it'll slowly be a part of you.

I'm not sure if she's the originator, but I've heard Mel Robbins talk about this. I'll have to find her TED talk.
