Get the book "Changing For Good" and read it over and over until it sinks in and you actually really pinpoint why you are being lazy.

I would go out where they have some hot women. For example, I was at a restaurant the other day with a woman friend after playing basketball and I saw this cute girl and you know I was walking in there all cool with my P Coat and trying to stay cool. I knew I didn't have time to sit there and "spit my game" but it just made me want to be better in everything and make her want me more than she already did (got a smile 
). It jus gave me the motivation to lift weights, go on the computer and do some work, and just think in a few years that I will be driving to some place with hot women in a BMW M5 all buff and what not and I'll be pimpin'. That works every time.
Or I just listen to this song and then I start feeling all sad and then I'm like you know what, it's money time!!! And I work my ass off.

Sit your ass down, put your head down and work.
DO ANYTHING to get the money flow going, you'll feel better to work.

Ok, when you wake up in the morning (or afternoon like me), get some caffeine, and take 5 minutes, go outside on your porch or patio, write down your goals for the day.
If you really are that lazy, just start off with one thing a day, and gradually add 1 each day. They do not have to be anything tedious, just something, like - Today I will find a method to make money that someone else has used and succeeded in on BHW. Use the search function or just browse around.
It will take at most 30 min, then for the rest of the day you can go watch porn.
If you cant manage to write it down in the first place, then u need to go work for someone else.

Don't worry dude you aren't the only one that has this problem, in fact most IMer have this problem from time to time.
Get sleeping in order as most IMers are night owls (bad) - and then have a "to do" list beside you. Everyday write out what you have to do. You will accomplish so much more and actually feel like you are getting somewhere. Will stop you wasting endless time fluffing through forums etc. only alot a certain amount of time for that sort of thing.
Also helps if you have your own sites and products - keep you focus in acheiving something for yourself...

I like everyone's suggestions so here's my 2 cents. Spend it as you please.
- I agree have a definite goal in mind and focus on achieving it, and go about trying, while making a plan to achieve rather than waiting to make a plan.
- Set up rewards for yourself. Let's say you're like me and you love COD: MW2. Well for a while it was all I would do at night when my day was done. Then I started getting paid for things I was doing and I got excited about it (nothing BH yet though, just outside work) and I started working on it. Forgetting all about MW2.
then from time to time I'd feel an urge to play, but before I did I made sure I got done what I needed to for the day. If I didn't get it done, I worked on it all night. If it was too late to play then I didn't.
Not saying I'm perfect but it's a good idea to motivate yourself.

1) Bring several sheets of paper, a pen, a calculator, a calendar and a very large bottle of water into your bathroom.
2) Eat an entire bar of ex-lax (or laxative of choice).
The time you will be spending on the crapper will leave you no choice but to:
a) do something productive while you are on your butt
b) want to eventually get off your butt so bad, that you will wish you never procrastinated in the first place
(Win - win situation!)
Don't forget to drink plenty of water!!!

here's what works for me:
you gotta be very specific about what you actually want to get done.
"get off my ass and do some work" is too vague and doesn't give you any direction to go in.
you need to quantify exactly what you need to get done, how much of it to get done, and when you need to get it done by.
attach a definite number to as many things as possible.
breaking up a large plan into many smaller steps also helps.
basically the whole idea is to clarify exactly what it is you want to do, and make it as clear as possible so you know where you're going, and then it becomes a lot easier to start.
... of course this only applies to things you actually want to do but are procrastinating at actually doing.
if you're being lazy because you genuinely hate doing whatever it is you have to do, then you should probably look into other alternatives.

Here are some suggestions:
1. Get enough sleep. Not having enough sleep is the main cause for people not feeling like doing anything. Even if you don't feel sleepy, you probably are
2. Practice makes perfect. Force yourself to do some tasks everyday, and slowly work it up. The more work you do, the more you get used to it.
3. Get a tough part time job. The tougher the job is, the easier it will make all other work seem for you. You are forced to work at your job, and will make it easier to force yourself to do other jobs.
4. Make it fun. Fun can change people's behaviour. I saw it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lXh2n0aPyw
5. Get more exercise. Perhaps your body is out of shape...
thanks man. I already knew the video, you are right about point 5.

- My Mom alwasys told me: Wake up and stop being lazy cause you'll have enough time to sleep and be lazy when you are dead.
- We don't even have 100 years to live, more like 60, what have the last 5 years of your life felt like? Feel like living another 5 the same way?
- Do you spend more time with your family than working or in front of your computer? What does it feel like to spend more time in front of a machine than with your family/friends?
- What do you feel when you watch the TV and see other people having fun and doing something with their lives?
- Realize that you could lose the precious gift of life at any moment so live like you were dying, because you are!
- DAMM... I gotta start taking my own advice..................
This helps me. It's a phrase by Friedrich Nietzsche and I have it on my desktop.
It's kind of ominous but relative to me as I get lazy too. Here it is:
"He who cannot obey himself will be commanded".
So in a nutshell this is what it is saying.
Do your work or others will decide how much you make each week, when you can take a
vacation, what kind of car you can afford, etc.
So get some inner dialogue going or you're screwed..
Do It and Get Going!

That is great. Remember there are only a small percentage of people that can make their own destiny. The majority need to be managed. I read some of the suggestions and I basically believe it is totally impossible to just get off your but and start doing something. Especially if you were bort to be managed. My suggestion go get the crappiest job in the world and let this be your motivation.
PS If you dont have bills to pay and your sitting home at mom and dads sleeping in you are definately doomed.
