Willpower is the ability to kick your own ass into doing the things YOU need to get done. It's like being your own parent.
The best way to make positive changes is to think of all the reasons why you want to get the things done so that when your brain wants to fuck around instead, you bring up the list of reasons that doing the job at hand is actually a much better way to spend your time. After all, when you spend 3 hours working, that is 3 hours of work that doesn't need to be done tomorrow, AND you even buy yourself time off for the future.
Also, a reason people tend to fuck around is the interia principle... a person who is fucking around tends to keep fucking around, while a person who works steadily tends to keep working steadily. Sure, it's tough at first to change from a lazy ass into a responsible working person, but the rewards are definitely there -- more money, the satisfaction of a job completed, and free time later on. The key is that you just have to keep kicking your own ass everytime your lazy self wants you to quit working on your future.
Kick your ass, kick your ass, kick your ass!
