My workaround was to join up with somebody else that was more driven than I am and I chose to help them cofound.
I used their motivation to help me remain focused and productive.
Worked out well for me.
I still haven't resolved the problem - after decades my personal drive has not improved much.
I actually had other serious problems in my life and I have resolved them in satisfiable manners.
So, I think that this problem is solvable as well.
As an adult, I have found study groups to be extremely helpful. But there aren’t study groups for everything. And each one has one's own journey. I must learn discipline and work ethics for myself.
