Either you use discipline or you don't. There is no third option.

You will get back into it and feel fresh and optimistic for a few weeks and then you will fail again for the same reasons and it will feel exactly the same as the first time. All of your hopes will slip through your fingers and you'll be back at rock bottom with nothing to show for it but wasted time.

Here's what I did to get out of your situation:

Find something I'm good at, for me it was accounting and finance

Get ludicrously good at whatever it is you take an interest in.

Be the guy that everyone goes to for the answer, take the stage as the one who'll lead the group.

Life can only go up from there.

Discipline isn't what you "have," it's what you do.

Figure out what you want, make a plan to accomplish it, and then stick to the plan, no excuses.

Let's say you want to get in better shape and learn Russian. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon, you will spend at least one hour exercising and in the evening you will spend at least half an hour studying Russian.

You will not skip a single session. For any reason. If you don't "feel" like it, you do it anyway. If you MUST miss a session, you will make it up immediately. You stick to it, no matter what.

It's tough at first, but eventually your lifestyle gravity will adjust and it gets easier.

Maybe you can study video games which would be really cool. Think about it, playing video games then writing a paper on why the video game is great. Like what symbols and motifs are prevalent in the video game title, talk about the character development, try to figure out if the creators of the game are trying to send a message about society. Just study video games.

I forgot this, i should make a timetable with how many hours and what to do and just put it in front of my bed so i can always see it.

Keep in mind, that you are still going to have to read a lot. Also, some of those video game franchises have expanded into movies and literature. So reading stuff on how to analyze literature might come in handy. Damn, I'm a freaking college dropout. Also, your thread just reminded me that I should go back to reading Plutarch's Parallel Lives and other ancient literature.

Glad that my thread helped in something, i know that i have to read a lot of books and such but that's just a plan B so i can read while i try the stuff the other anon told me, reading it's the only thing i don't get tired after a while.
