I just got through an entire quarter by bribing myself with cups of tea (and occasionally chocolate, if I had any to hand) to get my assignments done. It's not the GREATEST strategy, but it worked, and if next quarter is anything like this one, I'll be doing it again. Reading also makes an excellent reward - be it fic, or stuff with actual literary merit (occasional overlap, there). Unpleasant stuff like cleaning is made more tolerable when it's accompanied by something shiny on TV (activity permitting), or by music. I just need to not bash myself on the footboard of the bed anymore while dancing around Mrs. Doubtfire-style with the vacuum in here...
