Have you tried using the LessWrong Study Hall? They do pomodoros (25 minutes of work with 5 minutes break or 50 minutes work with 10 minutes break). YMMV, but I found that it helped motivate me, when I would otherwise be unmotivated. The five or ten minutes between pomodoros is fun, and while in a pomodoro, you are working with other people, so you have that sense of solidarity.

I bookmarked it. I'll probably check it out soon.

I'll probably check it out soon.

Coming from someone who just asked about ways to overcome procrastination, this made me quite literally laugh out loud. :)

To be fair, I did manage to work for an hour without it. I haven't worked much since then, though.

I dare you to try it out in the next 6 hours, no excuses. :)
