You sound a lot like me. I have had tons of trouble making myself work, even
on my passion projects that I have invested significant amounts of my own
money in. I would recommend that you read Turning Pro by Steven Pressfield. He
was a chronic procrastinator who turned things around. I would combine this
with renting a desk at a coworking space and keeping regular work hours,
though they might only be four or six hours per day (8 is too much if you are
actually working).

I picked up bullet journalling last year and it has dramatically improved my
procrastination and disorganization which has had the biggest impact on my
motivation.

Setting aside each night to review the day and plan the next really helps. I
love checking shit off. Just make sure your list is achievable and the tasks
are small enough. Large tasks that take multiple days can be overwhelming and
lose meaning.

It also helps that my bujo is a physical book. That tactile experience makes a
big difference.

Ivan Pavlov, famous for his dog experiments, wrote about something he called
"target reflex" (approximate translation, I could not find his 1916 book by
that name in English). That's the desire to capture the flag, reach another
level, or set a new record that's keeping you glued to the screen when you're
playing a videogame. Learn to ride this reflex.

surely you can do one, right?
