Yeah, I totally get that, my brain does that too. I find external accountability helps: do you have local writer friends perhaps? Or what I frequently do is ask on twitter if anyone wants to do a productivity sprint of 20 minutes/1 hour/etc. with me. At the end of that time we check in with each other's progress, take a break, and then optionally start another sprint. I find that super helpful, not just for creative endeavours but also for housework and homework and anything else I don't want to do, lol. Or maybe you could ask you husband to ask you about your progress every evening? Or you could make a calendar and give yourself a gold star every day you manage. :D (Or use an app or website - Habitica (primarily website, but also has an app) gamifies chores and habits with an RPG-style system where you can get mounts and armor and weapons & stuff like that, Challenge Accepted (website) does a similar thing with quests, HabitBull (an app - I use this) doesn't gamify things, but gives you stats and numbers such as how long your current streak is, what percentage of days have been successful & that kind of thing.)

Also, maybe you can listen to some music you enjoy while you write? I occasionally use that to try and trick myself (with varied success) into thinking the homework/housework/whatever is fun.
