Congratulations on your progress.

It sounds like you're a little frustrated, but not angry. And it's good you're asking questions.

Heres a little insight about frustration, it only happens when youre trying to accomplish something. It means youre making your best attempt. You voiced a little frustration over mindset and thoughts. You're absolutely correct that these are so important to your progress because they are unique to you, and you have 100% control over both of those things and your reactions to them.

And remember that now, yesterday does not matter, today is what counts. So that said to answer your questions:

I wake up with my alarm, roll out of bed, and stretch to the ceiling, and touch my toes. This hurts in the best ways as you get older. A few minutes of light stretching just helps get the sleep out of your eyes and mind. After that, ots the bathroom routine, then I want a good breakfast. Usually eggs, maybe a slice of bacon or two, and coffee.
I spend most of my day thinking about my stock portfolio and planning my next vacation, that and studying for my next IT certification that will help get me to both of those goals faster.
I used to be deathly afraid of failing. What will people think of me if I fail? What does it mean if I try my best and fail anyway? Am I even good enough to pull this off? ... now. I give zero fucks about failing. If it's worth succeeding at, it's worth failing at 1000 times over before succeeding. People dont care if you fail. At most it's a moment of laughter or a conciliatory "awwww" and they're back to their own day. And I have been failing in epic fashion the past 6 weeks at learning the song I want to play fingerstyle on acoustic guitar, but every day I get a few more notes right, and it gets a little easier. When I get it right its gonna be a great success for me.

For your mindset, it can be hard to stay on track. Especially when you're younger and you've got testosterone coursing through your veins like it's a God damned fuel-injection turbo system.

So to help with that, pick your goals. Good grades in a class? Bench 200 lbs? Learn that guitar that's sitting in the corner? Whatever. Just pick your goals. And break those up into "checkpoints" along the way. Take the checkpoints and break those down into steps that can be done in as little as a few minutes. "Study 5 practice questions, play 2 chords 10 times, get onnnneee more rep on that bar."

Do these and gauge your progress, including your failures! Failures are a SUPERB tool for measuring your progress. As a matter of fact if you take the word "failure", and do this to is: ~~failure~~ , then you have the ability to replace it with a much better word that will be of great value to you: PROGRESS (in big capital letters).

Tell me about it... too much time wasted on the internet. Self mastery takes building the willpower muscle.

Slowly progress is simply the reality of every objective. Thinking of getting everything right away is the mindset of women. The real progress is that one more rep you manage to do in the gym, that +100$ you saved each month, that compliment that your boss made about your work.

Going mgtow is about giving all your resources to yourself. It can feel lonley sometimes since usually men want to hit on girls and they are ready to spend money for them, offering drinks and stuff; going against the current often cuts you out even from your male friends. The mindset is about going back to male reasoning, on big epic long term objectives; you don't wont to hook up with a fat chick in the club next to your house, you want to travel the world and fck each race of young hot girls and die happy when you get old. More than failing you should fear regret of not getting what you want, regret of being tied on a relationship to a woman you don't love or like, regret of not getting a promition on your job because you refused to travel for work since you were afraid of your wife cheating on you, regret your fat body, etc...
