1. Set a Pomodoro timer (25 minutes). 2. Tell myself "just work on the project/problem for just five more minutes." 3. * Work and allow no interruptions * 4. Pomodoro timer rings. 5. "Wow. I didn't notice time passing." Almost always, the satisfaction of surpassing the 5 minute goal is enough encouragement to continue for a good long while. Personally, this works as well (if not better than) changing my work venue.
