Most hotels have some latitude in the rate and prefer to having a known person occupying a room full time. Most of the time you need to speak with a Director of Sales or General Manager to negotiate this. If you act as if you do it all the time, they'll usually work with you. I've been working in near LAX for a while and these deals were a while back. Look into places that target longer term stays. Extended Stay and Candlewood are great; Homewood and Fairfield are a bit pricey. There's an Econo Lodge in Woodbridge that would also be very reasonable.

A written schedule, on-line classes, make lists and find satisfaction in striking when completed.
