here's a simple trick you might want to try ;)

1. Take a stopwatch and set the timer on just 5 minutes!
2. Start doing your work!
3. Stop doing it after the 5 minutes are over!

Yes! It's that easy!
It is important that you really stop after 5 minutes. Do something else, 20 jumping jacks for example!

Chances are your work is not finished after just 5 minutes. So you can just repeat the exercise once more if you feel like it.
Maybe even do 15 minutes or more. Just be sure to only do 5 the first time!
