Sam, you look remarkably like your brother!
Just think, the sooner it is done, the sooner you can be doing other things. I know what you mean though, it's difficult sometimes.

Make a list. Order it from the worst task to the least-worst task. Complete No1, cross it off the list and proceed to 2....

Gambatte! I always try to get these things done as quick as possible and first. Some things just have to be done. I dislike anything to do with money/accounts.

Get stuck in! Often have I sat down at my desk in a morning and sighed deeply at the crap I have to do - and wasted a ton of time thinking about it. If only I just got on with it. Easier said than done of course. Anyway, lets dance.

Werk is bad, but it could be worse.
You could be stuck in a meeting all day!

Yeah Soubs has it right. Deal with the worst to start with. Also make sure you can manage the right sort of time periods when you can work with out disturbance and clear some decks. Unfortunately, going into the office on Saturday is often the best way to get this sort of peace.

I had a difficult week and was getting really frustrated on Friday, so I'm just doing nothing this weekend other than recharge and lounge about. When I get in that 'don't want to do this mood' there's no point in wasting time pretending to - best to go out and do something completely different until the attitude changes.

I have just had one of those "want to throw the computer out the window" experiences. Of course, my fault but I just could not for the life of me get an Excel accounts file to balance out. Just spent the best part of 3 hours messing around with it and trying to find what I did wrong and it was so annoying.
I hate accounts.
I want the rest of the day off.

I find exercise before work helps a lot, a 30 min brisk walk or preferably a surf. Bog of crisps is right too. Sometimes just hitting it results in you realising it isnt that bad and Rach's idea is right too.
