I completely understand the frustration! What I didn't say was that I had spent almost a year dithering about getting this done. Things that I have found helpful in motivating me to do house stuff include: learning lots of details about the ins and outs of the project beforehand, breaking it down into daily accomplishable goals, getting friends to help (even if all they do is keep me company while I do stuff), making the doing of it fun, and rewarding myself afterwards. Come to think of it, this is very similar to how I handle projects at work! It's just much harder to do it for myself at home (but oddly enough, it's easier if I have a specific goal in mind - like wanting to invite friends over to sit outside in the yard while I BBQ). Best of luck with your house projects!
