I went through a low motivation phase in September, and there were a few things that helped. First, I chose to do one or two things from my must-get-done list that I had been avoiding. Then, as I thought of other things to do, I either wrote them down or did them on the spot. For a while, I didn't worry about making myself do things that weren't urgent and I wasn't in the mood for. The desire to do those things returned when my motivation returned.
Getting things done made me feel better about myself, and I found that once I got started on a task, it was relatively to move on to another task once I finished the first one.
It's important that you include things you want to do and look forward to doing—something creative, something active, something social, or whatever you find satisfying.
