How to have consistency and long-term commitment to anything? I have a lot of things I want to do, such as learning to program or walking every day for 30 minutes, but when the excitement of learning something new or some addiction gets in the way, I just immediately quit. I think I never committed fully to any skill in my entire life, maybe except for some useless video games I mastered.

I'm planning to quit all overstimulating distractions, which raise dopamine levels way too high, so focused, boring work in comparison is hard to do. Any other tips?

You need to let go of all the attachments you have related to your addictive behaviors. This can be something like deleting a video game or social media account.
You can also try focusing on just one task at a time, for example try to go on a walk everyday for a week and only then add another task.

Trve, you need to really commit to learning coding to get good at it with how many people nowadays are choosing it as their career. Even if you do manage to find a job as a programmer (which is gonna get more difficult as ai gets better and employers will want quality workers over quantity), you won't contribute much to society and spend the rest of your life in front of a computer.

Regardless of how you feel about Evola I feel like this is a good mindset, I have similar problems and cultivating a work ethic based on this helped me a lot.

Programming isnt gonna be my main job but one of the skills i can learn and use it with other skills so i can get a job thats not replaced by AI, and thanks for the tips.

idk who that is but thanks for the quote.

I have another problem. I cant even fufill basic duties and responsibilities, literally everyone I know even most people here who consider themselves losers atleast commit to their simple responsibilities like homework.
But I literally just bedrotted for about 2 months with literally nothing done. I had short streaks of producivity when I was waking up early, walking, actually committing to work but one slight distraction/addiction just destroys the whole thing and I relapse back into bedrotting. How do you consistently stay atleast a bit healthy and normal

Being disciplined is about doing these things despite not being excited or not wanting to do them in the moment. There's no secret magic solution to start feeling more motivated or excited about accomplishing your goals, you just have to do it, it sucks but its the truth.
Some small tips THOUGH:
<Any negative feelings you have about doing something usually subside when you actually start doing it. The discomfort you feel about doing it is just a small speedbump you have to push through.
<As you keep pushing through these negative feelings, your brain kind of gets desensitized to it over time, making it easier to push through it over time.
<Its ok to start extremely small, like only programming once a week for 30 minutes, and then building from there. Small amounts of effort over a large period of time is better than doing a bunch of shit all at once and then immediately quitting. If you still quit start back again but smaller.
<Discipline is a skill you build. You don't go to the gym for the first time and immediately try to bench 315lbs.
But remember that at the end of the day you know exactly what you need to do. You aren't missing any special secret knowledge on how to start pursuing your goals.

You should listen to this OP, success in life is all about "outcome-independence" having the result of your actions be your source of happiness and not how you feel doing them.
