Like -- Just for an example -- I want to play every video game, so I end up not playing none and instead just fucking around online with stuff that doesn't require initiative. The only override I've found is involving other people, I always make time for an RPG session with my friends or for hanging out and such. But I have trouble starting stuff for myself.

What do?

I use a planning tool where I add everything I need to do so I don't forget and/or procrastinate. I add my hobbies as regular chores in my daily todo list. Somehow, it's easier for me to think "I have to play video games today" rather than "I want to play video games today".

Sim racing and story-rich games mostly. Not the kind of games you can start and stop on a whim 😅
