On a Reddit thread about time-management & motivation for writers, this tip from NinjaDiscoJesus seems like it might be particularly effective:
Find a picture of your favourite relative who has died.
Print out several copies. Write YOU ARE NEXT in red ink across them.
Post on the wall on your writing area.

Radio show This American Life recently re-broadcast a 1998 episode, "Notes On Camp", about summer camps, which I caught part of while driving around on errands. The final segment, about Color Days, felt like I was listening to a story from another planet, a planet populated by unmedicated lunatics. I guess this may be how some people feel about cosplayers or other of the more fanatical members of science fiction fandom. ("And it seems pretty simple, but everybody here will tell you, no one back home understands it. None of their friends, nobody. There is just a gap between camp people and non-camp people.") Audio here. Transcript here.
