PART 2: (addressed to OP)

From your responses to posts by others, you clearly have read books, and tried things out. You also are open to realising areas where you can make changes to yourself & your routines (Ex: sleeping better, waking up early etc).

The trick now is: how do you translate your knowledge into actions that ultimately form habits. This is definitely more difficult, so you should focus your will and energy on this. As with Dr.Peterson's 12-rules, small incremental steps to help yourself be better than you were yesterday go a long way.

--- Long term: It appears that you might have an outcome/impact and timeline in mind (Ex: you felt you didn't achieve much in 6 months). Instead you could set paths for yourself where you just make 5% improvements on your life, often. Small continuous improvements should be easier to achieve. Also, you should seek to enjoy the process than depending on the outcome.

With helping others: 5% improvements that you can unlock in somebody else's life is a massive help to others. This will come from observation, communication etc and targeted specific nuanced help (of course). The feeling of "Yet i struggle to find anyone who needs my help" will change when the scope of "my help" changes to ~5% improvement. It'll broaden the number of ways you can help people around you (even those who aren't seeking any help). So, the struggle in finding will also seem less. You may also find satisfaction in having helped more people, by a small margin, than the converse.
