Waking up? Inertia. Takes five alarms.
Getting up from bed? Inertia. Takes half an hour.
Making the bed? Inertia. 2 days out of 7.
And on and on it goes.
How do I become one of them “up and at em” types? A real go getter bucko?

I'm the exact same way and here's some of the things that have helped me.
I use a planner and listed times ahead of time, and the rules is no excuses. If my alarm goes off and I'm in the middle of a show, too bad I pause. If I'm playing a game, oh well just leave it on.
Get good sleep and exercise. I know this gets said a lot but it really does work, and the evidence for them is strong. Ain't gonna be magic but it helps.
Get over the guilt and just do it some other time anyway. Failure now doesn't need to be failure later. Don't use this logic as an excuse though, like I said no excuses for the present. It's just a good tool for self forgiveness.
Pick and choose tasks. I don't make my bed, I leave my clothes in my laundry basket and just use a second for dirty clothes and rotate them around because putting into drawers is too much. Prioritize your energy into useful shit.
Sometimes it really is helpful to just say to yourself "It's gotta be done, I don't have the energy but I'm gonna do it regardless" and the energy will just come somehow anyway. Sure, not guaranteed to work but the times it does is pretty great. I don't want to say "JUST DO IT" but honestly it can work sometimes. Getting over the initial hurdle is much harder for a lot of tasks than doing them.
Thanks!
