TIP #1: Not motivated today to work? Bored? Tired?

Not in the mood to work today? We've all been there. How do you motivate yourself when your not?

Tip 1: Do something. Anything.
Start something small that you can easily complete. Find something on your to do list that you can accomplish quickly. Do a series of quick hitters. I find once I've flexed my doing-muscles, I'm ready to tackle something else and that tired, bored feeling dissipates. It's like exercising. Once I go I for a walk, I get into walking and start to enjoy the feeling of moving and doing something for my body. Work is like that.
