What I'd do during an infinite willpower streak is:

  1. Determine the most important thing I should be working on right now ( "Maximize on big things, satisfice on small things", "concentrate on the high-order bits", 80/20 rule, "What are the important problems in my field and why aren't you working on them?" )

  2. Sit down and work-work-work-work-work while it lasts.

(Alas, my last two-week long streak of infinite willpower ended a couple of days ago, so now I have to go back to regular, limited willpower.)
