You my friend need a good old friendly slap in the mush. Because otherwise, you will never be successful. Its as simple as that.
Over with the harshness, I know what you mean. I used to be self employed and at times I found it tough, I'll use an analogy. I used to set my alarm, and snooze for about 30 minutes, now I snooze once and I'm out of bed within 5 minutes. The hardest part of starting your day is getting your arse out of bed.
I would recommend two things:
1) Create a trivial task that just "gets you started". Maybe thats making a list, reading a industry report. Is it lack of inspiration thats failing to get you going in the morning?
2) Make sure what your doing is right. I have a saying, if something doesn't feel right, something is usually wrong. What I mean by that is, if I feel something is too hard, or making me feel uneasy or - say - I'm not motivated, its probably the sign of something bigger. Maybe I'm working on the wrong thing?
Additionally, I'm 22. My qualification to write this comment is I am incredibly motivated, I do a 10 hour day at another startup, then I work on my own site which is just finishing. I'd guess your about the same? Actually, I just read, you've a wife, I'd pin you as older in that case.
You know what, being a senior yourself, scrap all of what I said. You just need a slap in the mush ;)
If you've excited, holiday. Relax. Do what you gotta do. There's a great saying about procrastination and I forget who said it but its something along the lines of "time worried about procrastination is time wasted, if your going to procrastinate, enjoy it".
Best of luck man, maybe you should consider getting a hotdesk or something, too.
Enjoy your day!
