If my resume contains many short stints, what's the best way to paint this in a positive light? I've already removed the months of my job history so that only years are on there, which makes some of my positions appear longer.
1)I've been time tracking in toggl for about 2 months now and all it has done is confirm that I spend too much time doing nothing. It's not unusualy for "Procrastinating online" to be over 60 hours in one week. I'll start thinking "Ok, I just gotta do one little thing" at 9am, and then 6pm rolls around and I've spent another 8 hours browsing the internet.
2) I don't actually have many commitments. I have very little paid work at the moment (less than I need to live) and I'm only surviving because I have inheritance. I formed my company a few months ago but I haven't managed to release a product yet.

4) I realise that I need to be more consistent, but I've never managed to crack the 'how'. The only thing I've ever managed to be consistent at was going to the gym, and that was because I would put it before all other commitments. It would often be the only thing I do in a day. Even then, I've never really met any of my gym goals, even after 4 years.
Sorry to be so negative. It just seems like everyone around me can just "do work" like magic. If someone offered me the choice between ending procrastination and $1 billion dollars I would leave the money on the table without a second thought.
