try to tie it with "positive things" and give your brain time to learn it.
e.g. going to the gym results in your favorite chocolate (only then you get it) and so you wil train your dopamine response into "wanting to go to gym"

So couple things with positive rewards and try to make a clear plan so you can stick to it easier.

Scream into a mirror for about 5 minutes.

sleep in time wake up in time stay away from fap and coffee after 12 and talk a walk outside everyday
also stopped watching anime and Netflix (i only watch One Piece once a week) used to watch that shit all-day
i personally study on my own all day and get a dopamine boost from music (singing or composing music)

Have a specific measurable goal and then just immerse yourself until it is possible

if you perform well you have a chance with the office hottie
