What the hell is wrong with you man? At least play with yourself!
You're in a rut. Get some exercise and start thinking about what gets you excited and please don't say it's making money. Follow your interests and then figure how to monetize those interests and in that manner you can stay engaged with your business.

That usually happens after finishing a thing.. Like I am writting an article, after doing that.. I just start wasting my time actually doing nothing but my mind convinces me that I am working.. More like a physiological problem..
@Mickyfu: I also have the habit of checking my site stats and stats of my CPA network account..
looks all I need is a good time table + some rest...

I get super-motivated - buy domain and hosting, install wp, install all the themes, plugins for the project. The only left thing to do is post content and start building audience in some way or another, then I realise its 4 am so I go to bed. Cant sleep thinking of the project.
Finally wake up the next day - look at the project, think for 5 seconds - fuck that shit, it aint going to work.
Back to BHW for some inspiration, new idea, new project. Repeat repeat repeat. Im doing this from 5-6 months. The bad thing is I realise this is not good at all but I still do it. Untill recently I found journeys about Pinterest and I got inspired again. Already see some results and I hope I will stick to it cause its pretty easy method. God help me please

Try to motivate yourself to stop doing that. Find a hobby perhaps?

Same thing used to happen to me! Here is what I do now to combat it...
Every night I will scribble on my ipad everything that needs doing the following day. I'll jot down enough work tasks that will keep me busy all day. Sometimes I even put a time next to each task to motivate me to complete it and move on. I have found this works great and at the end of each day I feel like I have really achieved something.
Another good benefit to this is that it helps me sleep better better at night, because i'm not going over in my head what needs doing tomorrow, because I have already mapped it out
Hope this helps!

Here's what I would do:
- Start writing down everything that needs to be done. Mark off items as they get done.
- Set mini goals for yourself. SPECIFIC goals. "I will make 5 posts on BHW today". Probably not a good example, but it needs to be specific, and measurable. Something you can look back at and say "wow, I actually did something".
- Give yourself some sort of reward for hitting certain goals. "If I hit 3 of my goals, I get to unzip my pants for 5 minutes."
- Install rescue time. Review the results after a week. Set goals for the next week based on those results.
If you really want to get your ass in gear, put together a "Getting Things Done" system. Go to the library and checkout "Getting Things Done" by David Allen. He doesn't talk about unzipping pants, but I'm sure you can fit it in.

Make a contract with yourself that any use of the net will be for producing income only and that you spend 10% of contract time on learning
and prep and 90% on doing for 5 days. Take a 2 day break and then another 5 day contract of the same type. Etc.
By the way, thanks for helping me to refine my already improved work habits by starting this thread. Each one Teach one.

Getting out is a good idea, sometimes I get overwhelmed and find that going for a walk clears my head and renews my focus. Also, if you're having a hard time getting yourself to do things sometimes setting a timer will help, because it helps you to get started and you know that after 20,30, 45 minutes or whatever, you can relax and take a break.

Yessss. this is all of us. Except I go up to about 6am. BHW is not good for my health.
Here's an idea, take or leave it. Get a "IM partner" or "BH partner" like a gym partner and keep each other in check. Help each other achieve goals and share what works. Both of you benefit.
Sharing is caring.
