Working Through the Ennui

What I want to do is take a nap, or watch a movie, or just play for a few hours. I think it’s a common complaint of people who burn their candle at both ends.
What I need to do is finish work for three clients before 6am, earlier if possible, since I have another obligation at noon and do need some sleep.
What to do?
Evidently my answer tonight is to make this silly post. Now that I’ve done something non-work-related, I can get back to my tasks and dredge through them until I get hit by the bug and can work on the hard tasks in earnest.
It does happen-once I start working it is inevitable that one issue with catch me and drive me to finish it all-I just like it better when that mood strikes before I sit down to work and I don’t have to wait for it.
