I have been unemployed for almost 3 years, exactly your situation. I had savings and told myself I would do something on my own but never did, I just goofed off the whole time. I went through periods of getting motived to do something but quickly fell off it again. I have been applying more steadily now but I feel it's too late, i have been without work for so long i think i am getting filtered out plus my experience isn't great. And i have little motivation to study for engineering roles because i am not good at leet code and many companies still do that.

Lately i have been setting a morning alarm and trying to do some workout immediately. get the body moving rather than just start the day goofing off. i also had success with setting an actual schedule with alerts, but unfortunately iOS is buggy and just stops alerting sometimes for my calendar events. the biggest thing is that you form a habit around goofing off and you need to break that habit. i would also recommend the app Cold Turkey, in fact writing this reminds me i need to install it on this mac because i keep using it to goof off on HN and reddit.
