It sounds like you're good at what you do. Double your prices each project.
Cut the number of projects you do 75%. Over-deliver. Hustle by improving your
operation/system, not chasing a single variable (work input).

This work system will allow you to spend less time laboring and more time
working on yourself:

1\. Sleep, diet, exercise, reflect.

2\. Visit a good doctor and get blood tests.

A few years ago I started having trouble focusing for more than 2-3 hours at a
time. It turned out I have an under-active thyroid (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis)
which causes my memory to become foggy, focus limited, and tempter short when
my adrenal glands are under stress. This is fixed with some blood tests and
the right medication. I would have never discovered this without finding a
good quality doctor. I paid out of pocket to have access for a 45 minute
session—worth every penny. Now I only have occasional flareups.

You're not broken—you're human. There are simple fixes for almost everything
you describe that feels difficult. Take a step back (maybe literally, via
vacation or a week off) and analyze how you can simplify your life and
disconnect from this struggle = reward mindset.

Something to ponder: money, love, or fame as the end goal are dangerous, but
as a byproduct of earnest effort and a life well lived can be uplifting.

I was there too. Oh my gosh, how hard it was for me to push myself to do any
work on time.

For me, the solution was to change job. I didn't want to work on a thing that
I haven't believe in. It was just uninteresting. Now I can say I work in
awesome place, on wonderful project where I learn interesting new stuff every
day and feel that I become a better dev every day.
