I'm having a hard time getting the strength to do something with my life. I've been home doing almost nothing for this semester, although I need to get money to college and whatnot. What can I do to force myself to really focusing on studying and working? From where can I draw the strength to help myself?
Don't look for motivation, you need to get disciplined.

Fuck, I hate discipline. Anyways, how do I get better at it?
Cold turkey on 4chan, yt, porn and other procrastination shit - there is a software to block it.
Physical stimulation, exercise to increase dopamine.
DISCIPLINE
Write your time budget in excell daily, and control the amount of hours that go on procrastination. Try to reduce it every day.

Hun, okay. Currently I procrastinate 24h a day, but this week I'll exercise for 30mins every day at 12h. Seems like a good start?
Jesus, I don't wanna be a "working always producing machine", I hate that, I just want to get enough discipline in order to get a job and psychological help.

any start is good, the important part is to not stop

especially when you see results
try it

Yeah maybe, but I also really enjoy playing games and watching shit on YouTube, I just have to get some of that discipline for them results, but not a lot though.
About that, a thing that I've been struggling is not to give up.
I was capable of doing exercises and studying for a decent period in the past, but always my mood would go down and I stopped with my progress many times. How can I avoid it? How not to stop? My mind screams at me to give up on everything, is it possible to keep doing it?

Join the military.

Possible results are high self-esteem, better social status and all the shit that go with it.
When you start controlling procrastination, sure, you can have some of yt.
I have 4chan and other shit unlocked only on weekends.
I'm mostly out during these anyway.
But I come back to preach eventually.

Exactly this, my comfort zone is that for a reason. I can be Mr. Has his shit together, all day in public, but fuck man. I need something of my own to fall back on after a long day. Seems like these high discipline people never have any down time because they're always mentally wired to get something done. My friend is like this. He's social as fuck and a grade A pussy slayer, but he's ALWAYS doing something. I never see him just couch locked somewhere chilling. He's always doing some extreme social shit and I think the bare minimum of that is him skating at parks when he's bored. That's not me man. I like getting lazy as fuck as fuck when the time calls for it, I dont want to change my discipline to the point I can never rest because "there's something to do". Some ppl love that lifestyle, I dont. I like being as zen as I can, its just it can turn into a time sink sometimes.

It's ok, everyone has his own style.
I was neckbeard, and now I'm machine.
I never want to go back.

What did you do to become "the machine"? What are the main concepts?
