I’ve found the closest thing to a panacea for this is a mixture of willingness to fail and self forgiveness for falling off the horse. Everyday is a new opportunity to get back on it. And if you’re not feeling it today, it’s generally ok to just wait until tomorrow (this works for me because I have to be very gentle to myself sometimes, idk if this part will work for everyone. You kind of have to [or at least, I have to] address all the other potential issues, like anxiety or depression, before the motivation to do stuff follows).
Idk why I’m posting this on a shitpost, but if it helps even one person, seems like it’s worth posting.

I was like that when I was young. Now all my plans involve me forcing myself to do 1 or 2 productive things a day besides the stuff I have to do, and then just calling it a day and pushing aside the rest of the stuff I probably should do till tomorrow. Or more realistically, the next weekend or holiday.
I don't lie to myself anymore, I just admit that if it's not 100% vital, it won't get done quick, if at all.

Mid 20s here, this is what I’ve ended up at too. I prioritize how much each thing needs to be done and then force myself through 1-2, sometimes even 3 as early in the morning as I can. Otherwise it doesn’t get done

Maybe just a quick game of overwatch first.

Commenting so I can upvote your comment because Memmy covers up the button. Here’s hoping we all become our best selves. Even Memmy.

That and halfassing are totally valid ways of getting shit done. Halfassing is better than nothing on almost everything.
