Basically, if its school work that needs done and I dont want to do it I just repeat to myself over and over that if I dont get this done I'll fail & I dont want that. What I used to do was sit there and wait till the absolute last minute, then let it all pile up. It got to be so much but the stress of it all motivated me to do it. I dont suggest doing that, cause i pulled all-nights every night and was soo tired. Just find some place quiet with no distractions, and try to get some work done or clean. Set restrictions for yourself. If you have a cell phone, shut it off. Put on an away message if you're online. Tell yourself that you cant do anything until you get your cleaning/homework done.
Orr.. try making it fun
Like try blasting music while cleaning
Or.. making a game out of your homework
If that doesnt work and you cant personally discipline yourself
Tell one of your parents, "I want to get my work done, or clean.. whatever it is that youre doing, dont let me do anything until its done!"
