How do you stay consistent? I have a problem working on one thing for extended periods(weeks and months). Is it a lack of discipline or something else?

I can go to bed at night and make plans of all the things I will accomplish tomorrow only for me to only do about 10% of what I wanted to accomplish.

It's quite pathetic tbh.
