I've watched a lot of videos and read a lot of books on procrastination, and this is by far the best.
The other, is to develop some habits. Maybe commit to doing a certain task progress for at least a certain time, say 1 hour (or even just 15min) every day. Embrace imperfection! (or, more poetically, "Embrace Jank" :) )https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26481837
Give space for your ideas to evolve. Projects evolve with work. You don't even need to publish them! Simply move them forward. Take a holistic view on how you are improving the world, and improving your own life.

First of all, this is not the place for health advice. None of us here are qualified in Psychiatry and Psychology. Please seek medical attention.

Take care.
