I have the worst life ever. I just sit here and play video games, drink, and smoke weed all fucking day. My life has been this way the past 10 years and I want to change it all.
I've created google calendar notifications, that LifeRPG app, I have a to do list on my whiteboard and I don't get any of it done out of fear I guess. Really, I know what I need to do but it's just so overwhelming. The moment I want to do something, I'm bombarded by a million thoughts of negativity. How I'm never going to make it, how it's going to take me 10+ years to get decent and the fact that I've already wasted 10 just sitting here doing nothing productive.
It's not the same as it was in school where there was a certain pressure to do homework or assignments and you had someone guiding you.
I don't know what to do or how to change these habits. They are literally killing me.

Self-discipline isn't some magic that will miraculously make an appearance in your life and solve problems. You have it or you don't. Either you decide to get shit done or you don't, there are no short cuts here.
You say you don't know what to do, but obviously you do. You know exactly what you need to do next to start improving, but you lack the discipline to do it. Only you can change that, no one can help you there.
Start small. Make a commitment to someone to do something for them. Like bring a Big Mac to your friend's work at lunch time. Seriously, something small. Commit to doing it so he's not disappointed.
Then make another commitment in like manner that someone will depend on you for. Build your follow-through skills by having other people expect something small from you.
Then, volunteer, yes without pay, at a senior center or food pantry, somewhere you need to show up decently dressed, not too stoned, and people are depending on you. Make that a reliable, on-time habit.
Next, get a job.
