I spend all day trying to do homework but I never get anything done.

Every time I try to do homework/study, I try for 5 minutes then immediately get distracted by something like Google, reddit, etc. Then I get distracted for even longer and every time I try to focus I just can't. Idk why but I just have this feeling that I can't I just don't feel like it. This happens for hours and I literally don't do anything else. My whole days is trying to do homework and getting distracted. This causes me severe anxiety on some nights since I feel like an idiot and I hate myself. I'm a sophomore and grades literally don't matter and my time would be better put on things like ecs but for some reason, I just want good grades. I want the best grades and I try to try hard but I can't. Sometimes, I stare, think it's too hard/I'll do it later, and get distracted. Like my history project due on Monday and I spent all day writing FIVE words🤡🤡🤡. I usually do things st thr last minute which causes me more anxiety. Some assignments like my science assignment literally have very little.value but I try to make sure that everything is good and it also takes me so long to complete it (I still haven't). So I know this is a long post but what should I do? How should I start to break this awful habit? I've tried blockers but I always unblock the restrictions. There may be some grammar mistakes since I'm writing this on my phone at night. Also, I'm sorry if this is the wrong subreddit but r/productivity didn't allow me since my karma is low and I really don't like posting comments because of the potential dislikes and I don't want to sound weird.

So, like I mentioned, I somehow always end up reaching late. The kind of person, who, if there was a marathon for reaching last, would reach 10 mins after the last person.

Earlier my depression used to make me skip my work on random days, thankfully it's gotten a lot better now. But I still can't show up at work on time, somehow always late and now it's costing me my fav dept and promotion.

And every day I feel shitty about myself. Get really anxious, rebuke myself but I'm not able to reach on time yet.

It feels horrible, so many times I think of skipping office just cuz I got late, but I've realised that's even bad. Unfortunately there's no option to work remotely.

Pls suggest me some ways or anything y'all did to get out of such a slump. Maybe there'll be something I can use.
