I have been struggling with lack of motivation and anxiety for a while. I've found the following things helpful - Start the morning by exercising or at least a small walk outside even just for shopping for e.g. buying bread or coffee.

- When it's difficult to start the day, I usually fool myself, I'll say OK I'll try 25 minutes and see if this works, usually I get hooked and continue working for hours.

- Try to adjust the task in hand so it is not so boring and not so challenging

- If you finish working leave something half finished (and a bit exciting) for the next day, since usually the start is the most difficult part I leave something unfinished that I actually want to do from the work I'm doing
