x'D I feel you, I was also in same case as it tooks me months before shipping the first version of my side project. I am also an economist and we called it "Commitment Device" so don't feel ashamed as it's normal.
I am honestly curious, what it will become

The best advice I've recieved was writen down what you made today and what you want to do the next, then next day you repeat the same process... But don't be rude with yourself, its like building a new habit it takes time and so you will probably missed some days
interesting part is I already do that at work, but for my own stuff nope, tthere's no one around to shame me

How is that possible x'D For that point, I can’t help you, sorry
Shaming is not required, just that I keep accountable.
Will share first standup today
