I really like Venkat’s idea that life-changing decisions should be “leveraged”, e.g. a decision to go to bed earlier automatically improves your ability to make other decisions. So start with the simple physiological stuff (sleeping, eating, exercise), and move on to higher-level things when your newly gained strength allows that.
I’ve actually been trying that, but the willpower involved in things like sleeping and exercise along are completely draining me of any power to do anything else, to the point that even these things seem impossible
