It pains me so much, g/u/rls. I want to be productive and get shit done that I want to do (learning to draw especially) but every time I say I'm gonna do it I just go for a little bit and immediately switch to something else that requires no effort. How can I break this cycle and actually make progress??

For me it is really as simple as just forcing myself to do it. Just remember that it takes anywhere from 2 weeks to a few months for something to become a habit, but you need to stick it out that whole time. Start slow by setting aside only small parts of your day to what you want to do.
The most important thing I'm learning though is to never get upset at myself for failing to accomplish my goals. Forgive yourself as soon as you start to worry about what you haven't done.

There's a lot of guides on goals and stuff like that. I've got a similar problem to OP.
If you ask me... I'm a defective human. I don't have ambition. I can look at myself from another person's point of view and say, yeah, I should probably feel the need to do this, or go there, etc, but, nothing. OP, I have one thing for you to ask yourself, as I have asked myself the very same question.
Is progress important to you?

>>59899 progress is important to me, very much so. I really do want to improve at this, but I can't muster the damn effort required. ever.
