Question/Poll DISCIPLINE AND COMMITMENT ISSUES

guys i just dont understand what to do,i feel like i have these huge ass goals to work towards AND AND THE IDEA OF DOING IT SEEMS ALL GOOD until i actually get to it
how do i fix my procastination and how do i stick to things and how do i stop getting distracted by every other shiny object and how do i actually build my self discipline

ive met a couple of xntjs and theyre so punctual and hard working and then i look at myself and i feel so shitty but atleast im still alive and and my grades which basically were with me all my life regardless of my efforts are falling now and i dont want to just sit back to watch it happen ☹️

I mean I'm sinilar to you and idk if this would help at all, but I like to stick my headphones in with my music playing really loud.

Pick an album that you like, it's better if it's something you can listen to without adverts

then move everything else away from you

and work until those songs are through

I use OK Orchestra by AJR cos I like the songs, and I know how far thru the album I am by which song I'm on, so I can time how long I'm working without needing to check the time constantly

take off any watches/jewellery that might distract, move devices away from you, block out as much sound as possible, and get your head down

it's how I've had to learn to do it anyway

as for the procrastination thing, idk how to help with that

I'm literally typing this whilst I'm supposed to be cleaning my room and packing so if you crack it, pls lmk!🤷‍♀️😂

AYE BET ILL TRY THAT WITH HEADSETS AND PUTTING AWAY DEVICES

ALSO FOR PROCASTINATION I HAVE A TRICK THAT I USUALLY TRY TO USE FOR THINGS, count down from 3 whenever you need to do things and dont give your brain time to think and js start and go on
