Two things.

1. Try taking up a meditation art; you can do that instead of watching TV and movies. It tends to act as a "multiplier" on whatever you want to do next, rather than sapping your energy.

2. You're probably visualizing too many results at one time, which makes the work seem big. Whatever you're doing, the plan/execute/feedback cycle has to be kept short, or else you lose touch. This doesn't change even if you have all the time in the world or are guaranteed trillions of dollars at the end - the work itself has to be something you can take satisfaction in. So don't worry too much about a goal for the day or the weekend. Just _get started_ and you're sure to make progress.
