As a result of this, I'm going to try to get my morning routine down from now on.
(Alternate theory of course being rather than general laziness being caused my morning laziness, morning laziness is merely an example of general laziness, and the root cause is poor sleep or whatever, but I feel like there have been days where with coffee and a shower and getting right into productive work I've shaken off this general laziness where I otherwise wouldnt't've. Being productive -> sense of accomplishment -> motivation to be more productive)

@rpm: Cool, thanks. Sorry I missed you on IRC last night, I'd already gone to sleep and saw your message when I woke up. Also sorry that I tricked you into reading this whole blog- it's pretty much entirely just hand analysis apart from the above post, I think! 
found some more wisdom already. i'm slowly coming to realise that every time i put something off/shun it because it's diffficult or i don't feel like it/sleep in for 3 hours because i'm comfortable in bed or whatever, i'm making myself more likely to make such lazy decisions in the future. it becomes the norm. like a self-stoking cycle. getting out of bed, having a shower and doing poker study for an hour = the nuts.
