- Definitely put some sort of marker at your knitting at the beginning of the day to mark where you started. - Take your knitting to social gatherings (even with non-knitters) and knit while you talk. I got 12 inches done on a lace-weight scarf on #3 needles done this way. - Audiobooks, music, TV - Knit where you can people-watch (knitting stores, coffee shops, etc.) - Bribe yourself. "If I finish X number of rows, I can [go out for dinner, look up other project ideas on Ravelry for when I'm done, download some music from iTunes, etc.]" - I do find having another project going can help. Just one, and something small. This can also serve as the bribe. "If I do X number of rows on the hated project, I can do Y number of rows on the fun project." - Knit nights. You can complain to other knitters about how it's driving you nuts, listen to knitting banter, learn knitting tips, hear about their tales of knitting woe/success, etc.

Hope this helps! I'm in the middle of a hellish project of my own right now. Perhaps reading about it will amuse you.
