Create routines or habits, slowly but persistently. It will take some time to ramp up to get into the "work all the time" -mode. And once you're there well... You'll notice that there is other things in life. Schedule your days and focus on doing things well. Gym to me is now easy but for beginners they might feel a bit discomfort going there. Get a PT if necessary but do not quit. About building side projects i recommend focusing on one thing at a time. Then it's just finding the time coding it, if you feel that it's too hard to even start you should go to an environment where help is available. Internet cafe perhaps? Look around if you see developer looking people and ask for help/opinions about stuff. You have to build momentum to get things moving and doing everything on your own only for yourself makes that difficult. Good luck! Remember to balance things out, it's very important in the long run. Do sports, do social interactions, do arts if that's your thing. Dont put all your efforts into coding only.
