To the anon who was asking about books to become an African warlord, search ‘Armed Struggle in Africa’; it’s available on the usual sites. It was written behind guerrilla lines during the PAIGC offensive; it’s a very fun read.

No amount of motivation is going to change neurological addiction overnight. I don't know how many of these strategies I formulated throughout my '20s, but none of them worked.
Real behavioral change can only occur through habit, and that happens at a glacial pace. Set realistic goals (the agenda in your OP is not realistic). Small stuff. Reward yourself for small victories. Don't beat yourself up over failure (the therapist I went to for porn addiction said that was the #1 most important takeaway). Dust yourself off, reflect on your successes, and how much of a shit you were a year ago, vs how much better you are today.
So if courage wolf pushup bullshit doesn't work, what does work? Simple stuff, easy stuff -- whatever can become a habit. Start your day by making your bed. Internet is fine, but not first thing in the morning, not before you've cooked a protein-rich breakfast. Discuss that school project with friends -- you're not going to sit down and do it of your own accord, so quit lying to yourself and find alternative paths toward success. Or call your mom and discuss it with her. Call your mom anyway. To improve your physical and behavioral shortcomings, first address how you can improve your social and spiritual self. This is the same advice they give to methadone addicts.
