If you can give yourself a break, do. You might feel like "Oh, but I need to finish..." but sometimes, a short break can be all you need to re-energise you.
Go for a short walk or have a stretch.
Taking yourself away from whatever you're struggling with, think about what you're resisting. Are you trying to do too much? How can you break it down into smaller chunks? Are there other things you need to do that feel more appealing? Swap tasks and give yourself a boost by ticking something else off your list.
Think of a reward for when you've finished it. Maybe a biscuit or phoning a friend or even watching your favourite programme. Promise yourself that it will be worth it and use a combination of carrot and stick approaches to get yourself through the apathy...
