The Five-Minute Rule
"Five minutes is enough time to get down to business, understand what the point is, and not to abandon what you've started."
We often find it hard to get ourselves to do something when we have a big task ahead of us.
Lazy to work out - start packing your workout bag, lazy to study - grab your books, notebooks, and whatever else you need, then sit down at your desk and start doing.
Oddly enough, after 5 minutes the laziness disappears without a trace and you become much easier to continue working on the task at hand.
