It sounds like you have a dysfunction with decision making and productivity. This is something you need to deal with.
It's OK! It happens to a lot of people. This is something you can study and improve.
I highly recommend reading a few books on productivity and making good decisions in order to correct your behavior.
My recommendations are:
- Deep Work - Cal Newport
Will go into detail about how to learn new things and accomplish large projects.
- Smarter Faster Better - Charles Duhigg
Goes into the psychology of motivation, accomplishing large tasks, setting goals, and making better decisions.
- The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Nee - Daniel H. Pink
A cheesy and poorly drawn manga-style career guide with some surprisingly good advice on career advancement and fulfillment. This one is a short read but I can't help but think back on it and reflect on it's lessons from time to time.
