I have always thought that there are some "normal motivators" that are not commonly known.
for example, there are tasks I get done when procrastinating a higher-importance task.
(like getting cleaning done while procrastinating a term paper)
This isn't easy, but sometimes it works for me. One of the tricks is making sure it really is productive. For example, I work from home so picking up around the house or doing dishes can actually be very productive/helpful for me, but I've definitely found myself bogged down in mindless tasks that didn't really move the needle.
