For productivity, I try to practice intense focus. I use small hacks/tips to keep me from getting distracted- such as, closing all the tabs. Chiefly, I just try to build this mental image of myself of being someone with exceptional focus. It helps me keep going (or just get started for the day). Basically, self-reinforcement. And, whenever I feel out of mood or jaded I just take a break, goof around, listen to minimalist electronic music (deadmau5 style^^). This helps me relax and refocus my brain on my stuff.

So tldr: Practice Focus and make sure you're goofing around/having fun when you're jaded/not in the mood. With practice you'd be able to have a good control over your mood and emotional state.
