Feeling unmotivated? On a scale of 1-10, how ready are you to do the thing you should do but are avoiding? For example, you might say you are at a 3. Now verbalize why you didn't choose a smaller number, after all, you could have said 2 or 1. You might say things like, "completing this side project will help me meet my financial goals" or "it will be nice to have this monkey off my back". Say why you're not completely unmotivated to do the work. This should help you feel motivated.
