Do the Work Overcome Resistance and Get Out of Your Own Way
Hang in there. You've acknowledged the problem, the first step is done. Now keep on going.
If you're up for it and need some motivation, read Do the Work. It's just 70 pages, highly motivational and gets you in the right mood to get going. The author tries to break through the fear and resistance all of us experience when trying to do work by personifying it, which worked quite well for me.
Good luck!
Buy this... Now... Internalize it.
"Do the Work" by Steven Pressfield

Alternatively, you could buy his original, "The War of Art" that Do the Work is based on. Set up daily practices and stick to them, consistency beats everything. It's about what you actually do, daily. Buy the book, it'll change your life.
May I suggest a great book on this topic? [Do the Work by Steven Pressfield] (https://www.amazon.com/Do-Work-Overcome-Resistance-Your/dp/1936891379)
Do the work and Ignore Everybody
Reminds me of Circa Survive song that says "Always begin, never prepare" which is based on the book Do The Work

I would recommend two books for you to read

In my experience I would always say to myself what is the worst that can happen? And you know that saying by Reid Hoffman's — “If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late.”
​
Best of luck to you!
Oh I typed all this for you my dude but these dastardly bullies caused you to delete it.

Hope it benefits you or another ENTP stoner:
​
What caught my eye was the Myers-Briggs test: I also (usually) test ENTP. Just wanted to say I think the Reddit subs seem to do it a serious disservice:
​
A) It is a management tool. It is not meant to enable some rando's life as a lovable eccentric. You should be shoring up the weaknesses it shows, not jerking off to how creative you think you are (not that you can stop yourself amirite? Ha!), and
B) It is not a tarot card reading of your soul. I get profiled regularly, by professionals, using whatever method is in vogue at that moment and while I absolutely see the value in the tests, it is limited, it is contextual and it will vary over time.
​
It is not so much "revealing" your personality as a prediction of how your behavior will manifest in a given context. MB being particularly general. For example, all my ENTP result tells me is that RIGHT NOW, I likely have too many projects going on and/or am managing my time poorly.
​
So based on your results, I would recommend you get out of your comfort zone and focus on active productivity exercises. Far from being something unsuited to you: they are likely just what you need. Anytime I dial this in tight, my life has a night and day improvement.
​
7 Habits is the granddaddy of course.
Unchained Man has a great time management system. Actually he refers back to Covey's 7 habits and explains why and how he updated the principle for a digital era. The rest isn't "bad" but its pretty standard 4HWW/TRP/Digital nomad type stuff. You could literally read Chapters 8-11 and get a great deal of benefit.
​
4HWW fuck I hate this book. And it's probably dangerous for lazy fucks. But Ferriss has nuggets of good advice on productivity and time management.
​
More conceptual reading:
Do the Work;
The War of Art;
The Power of Habit;
Rework;
On Form - some tips, although heavily weighted to glorify salaryman life;
One Minute Manager;
Extreme Ownership has helped a lot of dudes here. Personally I despise wading through the military waffle for two or three pages of content but the message of owning every aspect of your life and not accepting low standards from yourself or others is good (Hint: that means after you quit weed, (after a reasonable interval) you can and should expect your lazy wife to too).
​
Corporations have invested a great deal of time and money in training me but honestly most of the valuable things I implement are on that list.
​
Atomic Habits is on my current reading list. Check out this post (and comments) with some concepts from it.

Just get it done, son.
Steven Pressfields Do The Work.
>the Jewish people is their incredible work ethic
Is this really any different or only highlighted more among Jews for some reason?
I would argue that Judaism has a lot to do with self-discipline and that could play a part but I don't know that it is really any different than any other group.
>Are there particular writings/philosophies you can point me to?
It isn't Jewish but my favorite is "Do The Work" by Steven Pressfield
