>Take the day off work to spend the day writing a report for my engineering class. End up spending the day in a mix of 4chan, Netflix and YouTube. The report is due in two days.
What the hell is wrong with me? It’s like I’m trying to self-sabotage. I quit everything I try eventually. I have no character; I’ve never face any true hardships or struggles in my whole life. I know what to do and I know why I don’t do it, but I don’t know how to do it.
You're on crack, OP. You need some rehab. It's okay, it's not your fault. You've been conditioned to think it's normal to behave like this, no different than anybody else.
Stopping this all is easy. All you have to do, is disconnect from the electronic world. From the world of vibrancy, and pretty colors. The world of instant gratification, and artificial pleasures. Embrace boredom, and acknowledge it. Boredom spurs action, and creativity. Purposeful action.
You acknowledge that in your ingestion of this media specifically tailored for you by the worlds largest corporation is the source of your complacency and lack of will. That the fads you see come to fruition and pass are controlled and moderated by large corporations to push their own agendas.
Recognize your own individuality, OP. Wake up, and lead your own life.

I’ll try, Anon.

It's not that the media is addicting, but that you're using the media to avoid writing the report.
I'm 100% sure you would be in the smae exact situation even without Netflix, Youtube, etc.
At the very least, you need to commit to completing small goals (Pomodoro technique, etc.)
