I’m not the above poster, but I would say reducing friction is key. I have no problem exercising, probably my greatest joy in life, but when my attention “tank” is low I can spend an hour failing to get on the damn bike and go. So I have everything I need, a change of clothes, bike pants, bike shoes, helmet right next to the bike, so I can’t waste time looking for things, wandering aimlessly, etc.

This is the only advice that worked for me. Before you settle down to watch TV for the night (or read a book, or whatever it is you do to unwind), prep yourself for everything you want to get accomplished the next day. Pack your gym clothes, put your car keys and gym badge next to them, find the time on your calendar when you're gonna go and block it off.

I do this for things that aren't the gym too. Need to grocery shop? Write a list, grab reusable bags and lay them down next to your keys, etc.
