My best tip is to make a schedule. Therefore leaving no time for it (which sometimes fails, as it did for me last night, but the thing is you're trying it that has more weight).

When you wake up, make sure not to lay around too long. Get up, get yourself something to drink and something to eat.

I write after that as well. Write what may be triggering you that day and what excuses you feel like you're formulating (I do it to, it sucks) and from then on out plan your day.

Take a walk if you're able.
Clean something.
Rest, but rest with something to keep you occupied, a book, music, etc.

I try to continue like that. My problem is the night time.
