It's possible that you're mildly depressed. The first three things to try are:

1) Get enough sleep. 2) Eat right. 3) Get some exercise (don't worry about your weight, worry about your energy and activity levels).

If you don't do these 3 things, you _will_ eventually wind up with mild depression. If doing these 3 things doesn't break you out of your funk, see an expert.

If you're having trouble motivating yourself towards your goals, you might enjoy the following blog post:

A synopsis: Commit to doing something small every single day for 30 days. You can do this. It's hard, it will suck, and you'll want to skip a couple of days. Don't. At the end of the 30 days, reassess. Continue if you want. You're building a habit that will allow you to take tiny, constant steps towards your goals across a span of years.

If you have a problem with too much pointless browsing, invest in LeechBlocker or SiteBlocker. Limit your television.
