A particulary example; I will call "activation energy" where it's difficult to have motivation to start a task but once you have started the task you can continue fine.
Activation energy type problems can be solved by time-management or the more general "organisation" class of solution. Specifically; if you can organise a lower activation energy to the task; you can motivate yourself to do it.
Then you can reduce the activation energy to starting the task; Thus solving a motivation problem with organisation. But again; I agree with SquirrelInHell that these are usually different problems (with synergy).
(I also see that you tapped out so you don't need to reply if you don't want to)
I think there is a physiological component to this in addition to motivation.
