Highly recommend checking out BJ Fogg’s Tiny Habits regime. Utterly transformed my life.
Also had multiple failed journaling, reading, meditation, flossing, and exercising attempts, all of which have been fluctuating within acceptable bounds (e.g. some days I can only meditate 3 deep breaths) for the last 4 years or so.

This was a problem for me as well, but this post by Oliver Burkeman helped me take action and launch The Metronome : https://www.oliverburkeman.com/justdo
We can't act on every single idea we have, but it's better to bring at least one into the world than have several world-changing ones gather dust in a notebook.
I have 4 or so abandoned habit-tracker projects, and 7 "follow book" (essentially "following" a book series or author for release announcements/notifications) projects, all in different early states before I lost interest. I wish I could follow through with projects I’m not getting paid for ;)
