How do you deal with laziness and lack of productivity?

Recently I figured out what steals most of my time for example Reddit, so I deleted it from my phone and blocked it on all browsers, done this pretty much to everything, and I’m still not as productive as I would like to be.
 
I just started a new experiment of having my 9 main tasks outlined with process documents, and each time I finish one task in that particular category, I go to the next process document to refresh my mind and prepare it for that particular category of task, and all the different things (thanks to a toc) I have to think about. Seems to work wonders, as you sort of know, if you don't have a process document finished, and ready to delegate to someone else, then its far from finished or effective, but certainly can be with some elbow mayonnaise.

Works well, it helps open and close the thinking of that particular aspect, and you tend not to think about what you might be missing somewhere else in your business after a few days. So while you wanna play, you can enjoy yourself, knowing that your processes are being developed well, and catered for every day, in even the smallest aspect of moving forward.
 
May not and most probably wont work on everyone, but here's my .02

I deleted all social media apps. Only SoMe I use is Instagram and it's for business inquiries.
I only check my phone in the mornings and in the afternoon.
I make time to clear my head daily. I go to a Sauna each day, eat healthy, and I also just simply go stand outside for 10 minutes a day to just clear my head.
I find it insanely therapetic to just go stand in -15°c to just clear my head. Increases resistance against sicknesses, lowers stress, and the cold makes your brain 'go faster'. (A tip to @RoiBox and others in a cold climate)

I also make sure to reward myself. I take some days here and there free. I watch movies quite often. I buy myself nice things (not necessarily expensive). And recently I have been fancying myself a teaspoon of cognac each afternoon after I end my work (which actually helps me with my heart rhytm problems as it helps me with my blood pressure from going like a rollercoaster)

Those buggers are spoilt, but they dont have it laiden with despair like the millennials :)
I still believe those classifications are biased to culture and wealth, I can tell you someone who is born in 80's in a 3rd world country is far from the typical millenialls we jokes about.
 
Banning oneself from a forum in order to deal with laziness and lack of productivity, just shows what a weirdo you are.
This means that apart from laziness and lack of productivity, you suffer from some issues that require some urgent attention. Seek proper help before you do more weird things with yourself.

There you go, the mood killer of the day.

The weirdo is welcoming you to the forum.

Have a nice journey in this asylum.
 
Actually, you're not lazy. You need motivation, speak positive words about yourself. Stand in front of your mirror and say "I am hardworking and productive". Lastly, you have a Heavenly Father, talk to Him. HE will change your mindset
