Applying self-improvement takes time, work and effort.

You are applying it when you change as a result of reading and specially using what you learn. Change is essential, if you do not change anything you are not using it.

It is easier to just (passively) read something than applying it. The problem with reading(or watching videos) is that it can be used as an excuse for procrastination as it is way easier doing something passive that active.

The most interesting thing is that the problem is not in reading. I worked with a kid whose parents were worried as he used videogames to procastinate. They put the console out of the kid's reach and now the kid will just stare at the wall for hours just daydreamming.

So my advice is for you to start applying what one book about procastination says. Select just one good book and start applying it on your life.

It is very important that you just decide and pick one. I don't know "The Now habit" for example.

Write down in a journal the difficulties you face, your emotions while doing so and work over it consistently.
