Energy/productivity. I have the time to work on things, but after a day of work and an hour at the gym my brain just wants to go straight to reading, videogames, or laying down and relaxing.

I'm struggling to consistently use those 5+ hours of free time every day for something that will move me further in life.

Maybe you're being too hard on yourself and expecting drastic results too soon. Day of meaningful work + gym consistently over an extended period of time will help further you in life. Reading can help further you in life (obviously pending what you read). Only thing I see up there that I'd consider as a time waster would be video games... but even then a few hours a week to unwind can't be all that bad. I think Steven Spielberg and Elon Musk are known to game from time to time
