Set deadlines. create urgency for yourself. When it came to school or work, people would assign you a certain deadline to submit an assignment or to reach a certain target by the end of the ay/week/month, but when it comes to skills you want to work on by yourself, there's no punishment or a deadline hence we'll tend to delay and delay till the last minute. Example: I want to clean my room. If I don't set a deadline, the work will most likely not get done till weeks later. If possible it would be better for you to include a sort of punishment. Asking someone to help you hide your phone or giving someone $50 for not doing what you set out to do are examples of punishments you can implement alongside your deadline to ensure you stick to schedule.
