Excerpts from this which i loved

Get Started As Soon As You Get Home

getting started as soon as you get home and you're still in work mode goes a long way, For me, body in motion tends to stay in motion, body at rest tends to stay at rest.

Give Yourself 10 Minutes. Just 10 MInutes

Lifehacker Editor-in-Chief Adam Pash gives himself 10 minutes in the evening to work on his pet projects, sometimes more, never less. If he can drag himself off the couch for 10 minutes of focused work, that's a success—and at the end of that 10 minutes, if he feels like working some more, he does. If he feels like closing up shop and going back to the couch, he does. The important thing here is that he makes himself get started, and even on those nights when he doesn't feel like doing anything, he at least gets 10 minutes of progress towards his goals.

Make Sure You Get Some Exercise

Want more energy, or more hours in your day? Exercise. It may seem counterintuitive, but exercise is key. Even a walk around the block will make you feel energized, and the benefits grow with more regular and frequent activity.

Schedule It and Keep It in the Front of Your Mind

If you use some energy earlier in the day scheduling and thinking about your projects, it'll be easier to respond to an alarm or a beeping phone later in the day and go to work. CommenterMischiefMack also pointed out how important planning is, and suggested you get started thinking about your pet project before you even leave the office, so you're pumped and ready to tackle it when you get home. When you do get home, have a very specific goal to accomplish, and get started. Mad Molecule also stressed the importance of specific goals:

First, plan what you want to do with your evening ahead of time. When making this plan (and all plans), BE SPECIFIC. "I want to be productive" is not specific. "I will finish ten pages of this screenplay," "I will clean and organize the hall closet," "I will set fire to the homes of half of my enemies"—these are specific goals.

Be the energy

There are only two possible ways the awareness gets dispersed and we are what is popularly called "lost in the game"

- an event in the conscious mind which linksto another thought causing a chain reaction
-past residual impressions popping up all of a sudden

these two distractions prevent me from being consciously conscious.

Watch the watcher, that is the way out.

while meditating today felt the being of energy in me, this energy is always there and is called by many names - awareness, willpower or energy.

When this energy gets conscious of limiting thoughts due to past conditioning, we feel like a being with limits. This results in misidentification.

This is what I learnt today when I went within.Aum
