I work the night shift and usually get home around 7:45am or thereabouts. I find it hard to do a ride if, when I get home, I sit down to breakfast and/or watch some TV before heading out for a ride. So nowadays, as soon as I get in the door, I'm changing into cycling gear and I'm back out that door usually within 10 to 15 minutes.
As for finding motivation when it's "lost," I'll just parrot what others have said...just get on the bike and go for a short ride or explore a new road or path. You'll be surprised at how that will make you feel and the enthusiasm will return on its own, usually quite quickly.
