sunny morning procrastination

My brain is resisting starting work today, even though it is a beautiful morning and I had enough sleep last night to make my brain feel surprisingly alert. I just don't want to look at the stack of ungraded papers I have, which are currently cleverly hidden under other papers.

I'm going to try getting out a brand new green pen and putting on a CD in order to convince myself that working is comfortable and fun. Then I will look at these papers.

Anyone have any advice for starting a long day of independent work, or for setting up some sort of work/break schedule that seems to be successful?
