I don’t know if this will work because of what you say about it being a problem with your medicines not working, but it’s a thought.

Go to YouTube and watch videos of people putting up shelves. Just watch a video with that content, maybe one a day.

Read a wiki-how on putting up shelves.

Do these activities without any thought of how you need to put up your shelf.

What you are doing is familiarizing yourself with the task.

At some point you may find yourself motivated to do the shelf.

Where am I getting this?

The answer is from my MA research on the role of familiarity in motivation. Being familiarized with something makes it more likely that you will do it.

I can’t remember for sure where I saw this, but someone organized an experiment with people who had messy houses. The study participants wanted to change but lacked the motivation to do so. They wanted to live in clean, organized conditions.

They watched those videos of people cleaning houses on YouTube.I can’t recall the results but it did work for many of them.
