This behavior modification technique assumes that you do want to work, you just need some situational motivation. Put a rubber band on your wrist. Start working. as soon as you stop working pull the rubber band and release, giving yourself a good sting. If this doesn't get you back to work, pull harder or get a bigger rubber band - or both. Repeat as often as necessary. What if you can't start working? Zap yourself every 10 seconds until you do.

Look at how a news outlet reports on a scandal involving a politician. Is his party reported in the title or first sentance? If so, odds are the source is biased against that party. Is the politician's party not mentioned in the piece? Odds are the source is biased for that party.
