If you can track your progress, and manifest that progress in a visual way, then it can be easier to stay motivated. brains are generally better with concrete things than with abstract things
rewards can help- like saying "no [social media/streaming/etc.] until the task is at least started, no more than 45 minutes of [thing] until task is finished" but be very careful what you make out to be your reward. when the brain starts to perceive something as a reward, then it can be sometimes very difficult to change that perception.

Force yourself to do something every day and eventually it'll become a habit, something you do without really thinking about it.';

By making it routine, it's hard to forget, because you get used to doing it. Integrate the things you fail to do into other daily routines.
For example, during COVID lockdowns I realized I'm not getting enough exercise, so I went on walks around the neighborhood. Since I shower every other day before bed, I decided to do these walks before I shower. Every other day, it was "Man, I want to go to bed. But I need to shower first. But I need to walk first", then I went on my hour-long walk, took a shower, and went to bed. A few months later of doing that, my mom told me how impressed and proud she and my dad are of my persistence. I had no idea what she was talking about, because turning a walk into the condition for the shower rendered it and the scheduling trivial.';
