Jumping between thoughts about a bunch of things to do that each take dozens of hours is, in fact, a terrible way to be motivated to do any of them! Pick one and focus on it for a while. Start small.
Several months ago I set a goal to write 15 minutes a week. Sometimes I have failed to do even that, but now I’ve written a little 5 page short story and a blurb for an epic upcoming moment in my DnD campaign so I get my wording right. I have a few pages more of the book I want to write but that’s a project I’m building up to, not something I just decided to do.
If you didn’t care about yourself you wouldn’t bother thinking about what to do with yourself in the first place.
All that said, I’ve been so close to hiding under the couch cushions lately. I’m barely keeping up.

Good for you. Keep those couch cushions at bay!
