Thank you for your thoughts.

Not seeing any suggestions from you - did you spend 5 minutes thinking about it before asking here?

Yes, I've spent some time thinking and researching this question, including looking at this research paper and this survey.

Because I didn't want ideas similar to my own, I didn't initially list my own ideas for fear of priming the responses.

I recognise with hindsight that my post gives the impression that I was unwilling to help myself - I could have been clearer.

Finally, given all the discussion on anti-akrasia and procrastination, I thought that others may have actual experience to share.
