Now to stay motivated I have the 2 things:
The threat of being fired.
A large daily work list and busy office.
Now I have read that sometimes being dressed and with shoes on helps give you the feeling of working. But personally it's what Jay said, you sound bored.
My advise would be to create a daily task list work through it only allow yourself short breaks of 10 mins and turn off any distractions like the TV. I use music to help me work, so that's on instead of other background noise to distract myself. I do get bored at times and everyone does through out the day, so a large element is self discipline and unfortunately the younger you are the harder it is to maintain your own discipline. At 38 and with 11 years military service I have learned over time to discipline myself. Also to ensure you don't over work, never start a task you won't finish with your set period for work time. I work at my job 9-5 and take 40 min for lunch and sometimes I don't take lunch depending on what I am doing. If you stick to your guns, you will be able to discipline your work and achieve more in your day.
Just some advice and some may not be relevant to you, but take what you need.

What I have been doing is playing some epic soundtracks which include LotR, Gladiator, last of the Mohicans and many more. I also run livestreams for our community, knowing people are watching you is always high motivation to work harder lol.
Even after the kids are in bed I then sit down to make up for the lost time during the day, but I do try to sqeeze a game in here and there.

During the day my mind kinda blocks and in the end I get annoyed, switching between programs/different disciplines helps sometimes, but what almost always helps is doing something small nothing to complex to get the taste, in your case I might suggest creating a wing mirror or a tire, which is relative simple and might trigger "the fun factor" again.

I get a decent 4-6 hours of sleep in the morning though, from around 8 or 9 AM to whenever I wake upAs for the distractions, I started putting my headphones to use, but then the front jack on my PC decided to crap out, so now I have to plug them into the control console thing of my speakers, so the wires draped over my desk, which distracts me. I'm getting used to the grind though, I've tested myself with and without the onscreen timer from Grindstone and find that with it up there i get a lot more done.
@Ransid - That whole Tapatalk showing where you are thing is creepy
I'm pretty sure it's shown us where you live
