I've noticed the best things for me are as follows:
1. Make a daily todo list. Rank things by importance and as you get them done, scratch them off. At the end of the day, you feel great knowing that you accomplished something. THAT is your reward, and the $$ that it brings in too.
2. Have an "office". Even if your house doesn't allow you to have a whole separate room to be your office, then move your computer to a bedroom if it's in the living room. Living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens are way too distractful.
3. Also this is a job, when you're in your office you are working. So tell people who might be distracting you that you are working. Just like a normal job, they wouldn't be able to bug you there so they can't bug you here either.
4. Plan your day. Do whatever in the mornings, take a lunch and then do whatever later on. Make sure you have set times for things.
5. And the most important advice of all: Just DO IT. I know it's simple but you have to kick yourself in the ass. No one can make you do things but yourself. Just fucking DO IT. You'll actually find out that once you start something and get into it, it's really not as bad as you thought it was going to be.
Discipline needs organization. You can't get anything accomplished in chaos.
