"X" is the icon of the button that you should click on right now. Its in the top right of the window you are looking at. You don't need to read more email. And you don't need to read more MuchoListo. Yes, its good to take a break now and again, but if its 11am and you have yet to do anything productive, just click it and start now.

Yes, now. 

Making the bed helps me feel that my day really has started.

Plus, then you have already accomplished at least one thing, and can start in on that website redesign.

Figuring out the very next thing to do is my favorite trick. Momentum is everything, but it you without a clear direction, its impossible. Without a boss, deciding the next action all the way down from the top can be difficult. Breaking it down to the simplest step that I'm willing to do is my technique. My thinking process usually goes something like this:

* Ok, I wish I were on a beach in Thailand. What's next to get me there? Ok, make some money.

* Alright, how do I make money? Right, work on that new website idea. But that is so much work, I don't wanna. What's the first step to doing it?

* Ok, come up with a new design. Too much work. I don't wanna. Whats the fist step to doing it?

* Ok, design the title bar. Damn, too much work. I don't wanna. Next?

* Click on the start menu and click on the Illustrator icon. Ooo, I can do that.

* Next, draw a box. I can do that. Next type some text. Next try out the fonts. Next. Next. Next.

Soon enough I'm working, now its just going through the motions. When I get stuck, I start breaking it down again. Notepad is my favorite organizational tool.

No youporn.com whatsoever during working hours.  In America.

Even if you are your own hot boss in sexy underware. 

Work out. Join a new gym and use it.  Sitting on one's ass all day does not a pretty ass make. Nor does it do wonders for the tricep-y bits or the inner/outer thigh areas.  

Try to get in on someone else's corporate account or use an old student ID if that gets you a discounted membership....not that I would ever contemplate doing that...because that would make it pre-meditated and wrong....as opposed to just spontaneously lying when asked about my student status.  Hmmmm....but now that I have told you this, you can't help but commit pre-meditated perjury.  Ooops...my bad....okay, join your local Y.  I hear it's really cheap and you'll feel connected to your community. There: problem solved. 

*** It may be possible to combine this with your Ambulation if it's more of a high-impact kind of Ambulation.   

Put on non-pajama clothing. Said clothes should not have elastic waistbands (actually this should probably be the case regardless of employment status...unless you are a pro b-ball player...but what do I know? I just like saying b-ball).  I also suggest putting on underwear even if it is not your normal practice.  It makes things more 'official.'

 A tie and shoes work here too.  Admittedly better as overwear.
