ok Cred Forums... It's time to stop procrastinating and get your shit done.
Yes, this means you.
Level 1:
Clear your mind, clear your space. First, commit to making some changes in your life. If you want to see results, then you must work diligently towards that goal. Start by going to bed early and waking up early at the same times every day. Wake up, exercise briefly, take a shower and get dressed. Get into the habit of laying out a clean set of clothes before going to sleep. Have a light breakfast and coffee while you reflect on the things you want to have accomplished by the end of the day. Make this your permanent daily routine, even on your off days. Stop all drugs and alcohol, including cigarettes and vaping (fuck your mouth fedora).
Eliminate as many distractions as possible. A well-lit, distraction-free workspace is like a diet for the mind, it will help you to focus on the task at hand. If possible, rearrange the layout of your room or office. A fresh environment stimulates and inspires the mind. If you work at a desk, keep the top of your desk totally clear except for one task you are working on. No decorations, no photos, no clocks, no calendars. If you work on a computer, clear your desktop of all folders and files and set the wallpaper to a simple color (no image). Never end your day without clearing your space and putting everything away. Never start your day with a space that is not completely clear.
When you are working, plan regular breaks and self-rewards. Strive to eat and drink healthier. Plan and live your daily life according to a schedule that includes specific work and play times. Make a daily to-do list of 3 items and commit to finishing the list every day. Focus on one task before moving on to the next. If you're stuck, move on to the next task and return later to the first. No lasting progress can be made unless you have first established a daily habit of clearing your mind and your personal space.

Level 2:
Learn to Focus. This first requires you to admit that that you do not know how to focus. But don't blame yourself! You are surrounded by a whirlwind of information, entertainment and endless distractions. You have been trained to consume these things, and have been conditioned to continuously demand more! You have been brainwashed to feel elevated and empowered the more you are able to consume. Yet when faced with simple tasks, you find yourself powerless - a slave to the myriad of pointless distractions. Don't worry. Breaking free requires nothing more than commitment to change, realization of truth and willpower.
For some people, focus is achieved with little more than a comfortable chair and a hoodie sweater. For others, it's a cappuccino and a pair of headphones. You must identify whatever helps you focus, and use that as a tool to get your work done. But beware! Your subconscious mind will try to trick you. Do not fall into the trap of confusing comfort with focus! To a focused person, the most important thing in the world is the task at hand. Nothing else in the world matters, except that one thing. For me right now, the most important thing in the world is this post, trying to help you lazy fucks go out and be productive!
Stop fucking with your phone and put it away. Every task that you undertake, is an opportunity for you to practice your ability to focus. Revel in achieving perfection with your daily tasks. Strive to improve your attention span. Achieving focus requires the same commitment as deep meditation. Test yourself by setting an alarm clock to go off 5 minutes after you have started your task. Leave the alarm sounding while you work. You have achieved the ability to focus properly when the alarm going off continuously in the background is no longer any distraction or concern.

Level 3:
Learn to love change. Your subconscious mind has enormous power over your actions. It will continuously play tricks on you and seduce you into maintaining a comfort zone of laziness and complacency. You might think that it's a simple matter to ignore the voices in your head. Do not underestimate this! Countless are the ways that your subconscious mind can control you. These ways are subtle and devious. For every voice that you hear, there are a hundred others that you did not. Overcoming your subconscious mind requires a clear mind, focus, and persistence.
Start by disrupting your comfort zone in small ways. This requires making a change to a small detail of your life, one that will push you out of your comfort zone. For example, switch from whole milk to fat-free, switch the pocket you carry your wallet in, switch from taking a shower before bed to taking one after you wake up, or switch the music you listen to in the morning to something totally new and different. The same small change must be done daily, to disrupt your comfort zone and force your subconscious mind to adapt to a new reality.
Your mind will rebel. It will tell you repeatedly that this is a pointless and stupid exercise. Don't give up! This new behavior will soon become your new comfort zone. You have won a small victory when you feel reluctant to switch back to your old behavior. Once you have achieved learning to love a small change, add a few more, then move up to large ones. The goal is not just changing your comfort zone. You are training your conscious mind to identify and overcome the many tricks and seductions of your subconscious mind. Overcoming the influence of your subconscious mind is one of the most powerful changes an individual can make in his/her life. This powerful skill will help you take charge of any task at hand, and give you the ability to force your mind to love even the tasks that you hate.

Level 4:
Awaken. With a clear body and mind, you are now able to think. With a clear environment, you are now free from distraction. With a productive daily routine now established as habit, you are now free from many impulsive behaviors. As a simple magnifying glass has the power to bend the sun's powerful rays into a single point of blinding heat, your willpower can focus your mind's power to a single intense point of clarity. Armed with intelligence and the formidable weapon of focus, you are now able to gather your thoughts and take action with pinpoint accuracy. With control over your subconscious mind, you can now break free from your comfort zone and tackle any task. Now that you can see the trickery of your subconscious mind, you are able to overcome its seductions and find happiness and success - even with the tasks you hate.
Beware the power of your subconscious mind! Every hour that passes these lessons will fade away into the past. Every day that passes, these words will become a distant memory, long lost and forgotten. Always remember that when you are at your weakest, the strength of your subconscious mind is at it's fullest. Lasting change will only be achieved through daily commitment and perseverance.
To the fortunate few who have made it this far. To those who have read these words and not merely looked at them: This is the critical point. This is the beginning of your awakening. Internalize these words and they will remain with you for the rest of your life. Focus and accept truth, and view the world around you from a new perspective. We are all puppets. Forever seduced and controlled by our own invisible strings. Your lifelong struggle will be simply to be able to see these strings. Awaken, and begin to see the strings that are controlling you. Once seen, these strings can easily be cut.

It takes a while to get used to, my dude. I recently stopped lurking and started posting.
