Absolutely. Yeah, the "I'll will myself into doing this" approach doesn't work for long. There have been a handful of psychology articles on attention and self-control being limited mental resources (e.g., http://www.irp.wisc.edu/publications/focus/pdfs/foc281e.pdf -- [PDF]).
I was just saying that even with all kinds of tricks and fooling yourself and convincing yourself and whatnot, you still have to make yourself stop pushing that reward button and do some work. The key, for me, is to make it easier and easier to switch from procrastinating to getting work done.
