Make yourself get up and going, no excuses. Tell a friend to help you if you need to, have them call you or come over so you have someone with you to get you moving. If that doesn’t work, plan ahead of time what you’re going to do the next day.. make a list, just set a goal of it. Then if you accomplish it reward yourself with something you like doing. After a while of this you won’t need to reward yourself because you’ll be so used to being busy that you’ll probably enjoy it and will be bored if you go back to your lazy ways.
Unfortunately there is no cure. The hardest part is starting something in the first place. If you are able to say to yourself that you will dedicate 10 minutes to starting whatever it is you’re being lazy about (housework, homework, exercising, whatever) then often it isn’t so hard to keep going.
I also like the idea of a reward system. Even if it is something small, like if you do something productive for 15 minutes, then you can stop and have a snack or play video games or what have you (but limit your reward time as well so you get back on track with getting stuff done).
Exercise regularly, but keep it simple so working out doesn’t become another burden on your “to do” list. Sometimes a brisk walk around the house or jumping rope in the garage is all it takes to increase energy.Make it a routine to get to bed early each night and wake up as soon as your alarm rings in the morning. A lack of sleep will make you lethargic, tempt you to hit “snooze” and get your entire day off to a slow start. Plan something that you look forward to (like heading to the coffee shop for a mocha) as a morning motivator.Eliminate distractions that keep you from work or chores. Put the video games in an inconvenient place, keep your computer off so you can’t surf the Internet or have someone hide the remote so you won’t flip through the channels all afternoon.Create a list of short- and long-term goals, whether it’s buying a new iPod, getting a promotion at work or competing in a marathon. Tack a photo that represents the goal to your mirror or keep it on your nightstand. Use it as a motivator and force yourself to take a small step toward that goal when laziness strikes.
I don’ think you are that lazy.
May be you need to set a target and focus on it.
It will keep you motivated and you will run to the finish line.

Good luck!
