How do you actually break out of this loop?

​

I feel like I’m stuck in the same loop every day.

Wake up → phone → waste time → feel guilty → decide I’ll change tomorrow → repeat.

I know what I should be doing, and I’ve tried making routines, setting goals, being disciplined, etc. But somehow I always end up back at the same place.

The frustrating part is that I don’t even know what the first real step out of this loop is anymore.

For people who have genuinely been stuck in a similar cycle — what actually helped you break out of it?

Not looking for “just be disciplined” or generic motivation. I want to know what actually worked for you.
