Nobody's mentioned Strava yet. (Other sports trackers work as well)

Cycling and running every morning does the trick for me. Starting the day early with the burning desire to complete something in the shortest possible time leaves you applying that mindset to everything else you do. Sadly, this also means I'm noticeably less efficient on days I don't exercise in the morning.

Keeping track of my rides and runs gives me a good perspective on competition. I'm trying to beat my own records, and see how I compare to others. I feel a constant need to improve, and this helps me push myself in a healthy way in other tasks.
