Everything that loracarol said, and also:

Write or Die (http://writeordie.com/) or Written? Kitten! (http://writtenkitten.net/) are really helpful to get you up and moving!

I use Rainymood (http://www.rainymood.com/) for calm, inobtrusive background noise.

If you can, carry a notebook and write during the day whenever you would otherwise just be waiting around (like at bus stops, in lineups, on breaks at work/between classes).

Remember it's all in good fun, and that it doesn't have to be a masterpiece. It doesn't even have to be any good. The whole 'give yourself permission to write shit' thing gets a lot of flak, but it helped me immensely to turn off the little voice that said 'is this going to be productive in the long run?' Don't be afraid to wander off on tangents; if they end up taking you too far away from the story, just make the typeface white so you can't see them but you don't lose the words you've written, and pick the story back up where you went off the rails. No sweat.

And if you're a competitive person, there's a thread on the forums where you can set up 'word wars' with other people, where you both write for a set amount of time and then compare how many words you've written. Highest wordcount wins.

I had forgotten about write or die! It's a lot of fun, and it definitely helps. The only thing is, it counts words differently from both microsoft word and the nanowrimo website (if I remember correctly), so don't be worried if you're lower/higher than you thought.

And the notebook is a pretty good idea too! I notebook, or a phone, or whatever makes it easiest for you. :)
