The trick is games. When the computer gives you an objective and then your score, you don't feel like it's some other asshat trying to play you. You're doing the playing!

Now get Habitica from the play store.

Habitica worked for about a month until it lost the new factor and I just never looked at it again, just like all the other habit apps

1: Cut all those chains and never get anything done!
2: …
3: There’s no profit in this.

So is that why I'm decently productive at work but it's a miracle if I can force myself to do the laundry or load the dishwasher or other chores?

Very likely. I find it also has a lot to do with environment, like work is the place I go to get stuff done, home is the place I play games and chill. So when it's time to get stuff done at home, the wires get crossed a bit.

I started a bullet journal to manage my days and it helped a lot with this.

this worked wonders for me

then bullet journals lost its "new" factor and now its dusting in the corner w all the other calendars, organisers, diaries and notebooks I tried to start

I've recently taken up using a check list app to make sure I do the million stupid little dumb things I need to do during the day and it's been really helpful.

Which one do you use may I ask? My life is hell.

Putting your foot down and telling yourself to do something then not doing it because nobody tells me, not even me.
