This goes hand in hand with waking up early for me. I plan something fun to work on for ten minutes at 7am every day. Usually I already know what I'm doing to do. Then I get ready and go to work. Waking up late for me I realized was due to not looking forward to the day. This helped. I also time everything. It games your mind. I'll set a timer for ten minutes to write a unit test or something, and try to get it done in that time.
