You may be burned out....
Some time ago, I had just left a series of agency stress-factories and I'd burned myself out.. the agencies themselves were NOT staffed by evil people, nor did they have evil clients, but they DID have economic-desparation problems, where they had to promise more for less $ and be more flexible...
Hence, the creative staff got used to random requests during the daytime, we didn't seriously start working on anything till after the account people went home at 5.... hence, even now, I find my brain doesn't want to get started on stuff till after 5pm sometimes....
strange how we can train our brains.....

http://stackoverflow.com/questio…I had some other shit in my life at the time...my car got stolen, house renovation financial mess, my wife left me.... a very slow-motion divorce, so the feeling of all the shit hitting the fan at the same time is real sometimes...
Now I use the 23 minute method... i.e. I set the countdown timer on my phone for 23 minutes, and work on ONE THING for that time, at the end of 23 minutes, I surf or go walk or make tea, starting the timer again....after a few minutes I breathe deep,write down the goal for my next 23 minutes and restart the process....
