Hi,

I want you to tell you a litte story about my self and my struggles. We should
be about the same age. A year ago, I was going strong, working my job, having
side projects and getting things done. I was doing a lot of sports and was on
the level of a marathon runner. Then I had an injury. Due to the lack of
sport, I fell into depression. I was unable to concentrate on a single thing
for even five minutes and had no motivation whatsoever. I have had then set
goals for myself and after I failed to accomplish them, I beat myself up.
Rinse and repeat. Now, about 9 Months later, I am still in the recovering
process. Like you I tried pretty much every productivity hack out there. From
pomodoro to bullet journaling, habit forming and so on. What I want to say:
There is no quick fix. It takes time.

So I regularly try to niche down on the cause. Is it a motivation,
concentration or multitasking problem? Then I try to fix the cause with
experimenting with different tools and strategies. At different stages in your
journey, you will have different bottlenecks, asking for different strategies.

At the beginning the things that worked for me, were building up from my
principles and core beliefs (Minimalism, Freedom, Simplicity). Then I started
dreamlining with a monthly timeframe. But it is important, that the goals are
measurable and attainable. Then I broke
I'm looking for " the " magic answer, not because it would be easy, but because 
 I don't desire to slump more effort into just another method acting that may or may not 
 work in the conclusion. In a way, I'm getting demoralized on the discipline of self- 
 improvement. 

 For what it's worth, several old age ago during an " enhanced " experience, I had 
 the keep up realization, which might have some accuracy to it. Paying so much 
 attention to self - improvement, month after month, year after year, train your 
 brain to think you're a loser. The ceaseless thoughts of " I'm too lazy, how do 
 I get good " eventually get internalized. This is probably unhealthy and 
 might even be counter - generative.
