Check out 'Eat That Frog!' by Brian Tracy. It's a book about making the most out of each day.
The basic gist of it is:
1. Find out what you want to accomplish
2. Find out which tasks will get you there
And then this is key, the 'eating of the frog'..
3. Find out which task is the most difficult (the one you keep procrastinating)
4. First thing in the morning of a brand new day (wake up early if you have to), do the most difficult thing on your list. Either complete it or do the best work you can.
There are two major benefits:
A) If the first thing you do in the morning is 'eat a frog' (ie. unpleasant or difficult task), the rest of the tasks you do in the day will seem easy in comparison and you will continue to have a 'more-productive-than-usual' day.
B) You get the biggest tasks out of the way first so even if you spend the rest of the day with your thumb up your a$$, you will still have a productive day!
