loliuvyouit really is i have to rid myself of this s*** before the year ends
It will take much longer than that. But don't despair, the time will pass anyway. All that matters is what you do with it.

Atomic Habits, Running on Empty, The Book of Joy. (Those are what helped me the most)
Get an older used Kindle off eBay and use libgen to download almost any book you want for free, convert to .mobi file and email to your Kindle. Boom. Free books for years (as long as the reader lasts basically) for approximately 40 bucks. (How much mine cost me)
The return on investment from that 40 or so bucks is incalculably huge.

XavierManeAction precedes emotion.
You don't do these things because you don't "feel" like it. But if you just did them and stopped thinking so hard about it, you'd feel much better.
This is true. Front load your pain. Do the difficult things as soon as possible. Don't even give yourself a chance to procrastinate.

DefaultNobody can make you put down the PS4 controller but you. No amount advice can break your laziness.
Just do it one day. At the end of the day when you accomplish everything you’ve planned I promise it feels better than looking up and realizing you wasted the entire day scrolling social media or gaming
I work really hard for like 2 months and then i end up getting wiped out for a few weeks I think when I get fuel I end up spreading myself too thin

Its hard to seperate the emotion from the work

Start small. No zero days at first. Write down just a few things you want to start on. Maybe it's as simple as flossing every night. Maybe it's more difficult like waking up at 6am and going for a walk with some coffee. But always do something. Progress compounds itself, you don't have to be hugely better everyday, just 1% better everyday is enough.

You don't separate them. Emotions tell us very important things. Lean into them. Ask yourself what your boredom is telling you. What your melancholy is telling you. Investigate them, do not ignore them.

Pick your top 3 and bottom 3 and work inwards?

Not an insult. OP willing to read books and article on how to be more disciplined instead of using that time to do something like work out or catch up on sleep
It’s just prolonging getting started like those who say “Ill wait till the new year to start working out” why?

it is very daunting and fear definitely has something to do with it and I feel like most people who are scared of new things were instilled that fear by their parents and are trying to undo it

But most of OPs list isn’t new things it’s either doing something less or doing something more
Like smoke less or sleep more. Code more eat more healthy
Only new thing would be working out I guess but that’s more to do with discipline than afraid of trying

They say it takes 21 days to form a habit now you can take 10 days to read up on how to start or you can jump in and start and 10 days later your half way there

Quitting habits even harder than forming new ones btw. Especially when they have an addictive aspect or self-soothing aspect. Also that 21 day thing is a myth.
I think we agree more than we disagree. But telling op he's stupid for tryna learn (he can read and workout, stop smoking, sleep more, etc, all at the same time) is silly.

You’re not wrong but there will always be a reason to not start today. Will have to overcome that mentality
Can’t cut back on smoking than combine it with a good habit. Smoke and do a little coding or work out
Or at least smoke and catch up on sleep
