I like browsing Self-Help books, articles, videos, etc.
Some tips that hopefully you will find helpful.
(1)
Here is one major idea that I found useful -
Most people are too lazy to make the effort to change. It's a reality ...
They wish they would change but would say they are FINE with the way things are although they are not really happy.
They need to FORCE themselves.
We need to FORCE ourselves out of laziness.
To try out a suggestion is to set the alarm of 30 minutes earlier and see if we are indeed making the effort to change habits and really wake up at the earlier hour - just as an example of forced change.
(2)
Create a weekly progress report - even if you are the only reader!
Most jobs require a weekly ( or monthly) report of some kind that you provide to your boss.
Most schools and colleges will also provide you with a weekly (or monthly) report of your academic performance.
Similarly - in your life wherever you are you have some goals and accomplishments, so to track your progress !
Even if you are the creator of the report as well as the recipient of the report - both - you still create the report with at least the following
-- Achievements of the last week
-- Plan for the following week
-- Overall goals and objectives
-- any issues problems etc
