How do I become self disciplined? Sticking to scehdules is so

With practice, and if possible, by permanently removing available distractions.

Selling your video game system or uninstalling all your video games seem unthinkable right now, but at least file that idea away for later. Commercially-designed recreation is so potent these days that it's almost weaponized. For me it was Magic: The Gathering. It was fun and engaging and very subtle in the way that it increasingly dominated my time and my thoughts, and yet because of the investment-like nature of time spent collecting cards and designing decks, I had a major resistance to quitting, to the extreme that I couldn't really even consider it. Maybe your relationship with vidya is nothing like my relationship with Magic, but when the things we do for fun are part of a multimillion (or billion) dollar industry, they end up ingeniously designed to keep the barriers to engaging with them low and the barriers to quitting high. They come with hooks and can end up owning us, is my point.

Let's put aside the issue of quitting vidya forever; maybe you just want to improve your work/play ratio. I think what you need is to more intimately know why you want to do the things you want to do that are not vidya. Your reasons for wanting to play vidya are self-evident. But why do you want to draw? What is it you will get by drawing? (I'm not asking you to explain here, I only mean that you need to ask yourself these things.) When you know what it is you want, and can use a string of reasonable beliefs to connect the task in front of you with the end goal you want, it becomes easier to do the task in front of you.
