I got to a list of scales where I could rate various things on a scale of haven't tried to worked consistently.

I have tried all of these things, none of them worked.

I got distracted/bored and gave up on the onboarding. I worry that this sort of apparatus is busywork for solving procrastinators' problems. I suspect that a page that said "The most pressing thing? Just do some of it right now" would be easier and more effective.

Maybe, but the most pressing thing is quite often a task of significant enough size that the thought of doing it is intimidating. The most effective thing I find is just doing any initial effort between me and task completion, no matter how trivial, because once I’ve done that the effort to keep going is reduced significantly.
