All of us at some point have work we don't care much about, only doing it because we know it'll help with our goals in the long run. Despite this knowledge, I'm sure there are a few people here who have refused to do it anyway (looking at the guys who give up their college GPA for tour).
When I've been stuck in a rut for a while with classes I find I can only get things done first thing in the morning, after a few hours my day is corrupted and I have to wait until the next one to do anything productive (besides my main hobbies). I try to trick my body into thinking it's morning sometimes- I will literally stare at a speech until 3 AM, do nothing, take a 20 min power nap and then suddenly have the mind to do it. An apparent case of ADD could very well be the cause of my particular situation, and I parallel pokemon playing with ADD to playing sports with steroids. It let's you mentally / physical do that much more in the game but has a habit of hurting you outside of it.
Another thing I have done is take my shower the James Bond does in the books, start out at a comfortable temperature and rinse off at the end with cold water, generally until it stops bothering you. I always feel fresh after taking one of these and my mind is ready to take the next challenge.
I ask this university filled with unfocused students, how do you get yourself going when you need to? Do you trick your body into thinking it's a new day? Do you stimulate yourself in the shower? Do you wait for the problem to go away by itself? I've done all 3 and I'm ready to hear more.
