Seconded. Forcing or fooling myself to do something is a symptom of an internal split - one part "forces" and the other resists. Going to the roots of both parts (Why do I want to do this task? Why do I resist doing it?) usually helps. There's also a good book about the usual suspects behind the resistance and some weapons against them. "The Now Habit" by Neil Fiore. Fear of not doing the task perfectly, unconscious resistance to authority, etc.
