I resonated with everything you wrote (except Im not a writer, I procrastinate other things). I feel like I'm constantly trying to trick my brain into doing what I want and every strategy only works for a certain period of time, then I gotta try something else. One thing that made a big difference was reading 4000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman. I realized that I'll never be able to do everything I want to and life is just a series of choices of how I spend my time, and I don't strive for external validation like I used to. Hard to explain succinctly but you'll get it if you read the book!
