I've found my best chance at tricking myself into working is using my procrastination as a tool. Whenever I feel like not coding I go and write some documentation, work on some design or groom tickets. This is my equivalent of students cleaning their dorms instead of learning for exams. I've seen this technique somewhere exploited even further, by tricking yourself into working in "forced mode" on something completely secondary, while resting when working on the important stuff.
