How do you handle your tasks?

I have a lot to write about this but I'll try to keep it concise.

Remind yourself why you want the goal. Kinda cheesy, but I'll print pictures of famous pianists or writers or bodybuilders to hang up around my room.
Eventually, you will enjoy it. It's always hard at first. You have to slog through the days and weeks. Eventually, you'll get better. Your brain will build routines and turn those into the habits that will sustain you.
Make a habit of meditating. Study mindfulness. No, it's not new age BS, and it's not a pseudo-scientific panacea. This has honestly made the biggest change in my life. Set aside 30 seconds and sit somewhere comfortable and close your eyes. Next time, go for a minute.

Most important for me is to stick to my schedule. I have my "gym time" and my "reading time" and "cooking time". It's really important that you set aside time for each activity and never skip them.

As for "no pain, no gain", I think that really only is relevant to the physical nature of the gym. If you're miserable learning guitar, it probably just means you don't enjoy and shouldn't be doing it. Find things that make you happy and that you enjoy doing. Don't worry about the hobbies you pick up being "cool" and "interesting" to other people. If your hobby is building computers, your knowledge and passion for it will turn girls on.

I wait until the last minute, and then I panic :/

i am a slacker at my very core. barely getting by. i do the bare minimum to not piss off my employers and the bare minimum to do at least fairly well in class.

i'm not saying it proudly, just shamelessly. there are things i put a lot of effort into, like working out, playing music, because i want to do those. i'm not being beta because i'm lackadaisical in areas of my life other people think it's good to work yourself to death in them.

you don't have to become the most productive member of society just because you think it'll benefit your self-improvement. but you can if you want to.
