TL;DR: How do I distract myself from feelings of despair and discouragement between activities?

I have a problem.
I have a low frustration tolerance, and a predisposition towards viewing the big picture in as much detail as I can.

This means I get pissed off because progress seems painfully slow, and results in feelings of helplesness and despair.

When I get like that I can barely get out of bed. Usually I ony do so because I need to piss bad, or because I'll get an earful at work for being late if I don't.

Once I get into something and get focused on it I can achieve that wonderful tunnel vision that blinds me to everything but the task at hand. Then I cease to have a problem with motivation.

I was always the same with my school work when I was younger, and it seems the same in every area of my life.

I know I can't always be "doing" (especially when it comes to excercise), which leaves opportunities for this problem to rear its head.
