In the vein of glatt's advice to make daily little decisions, I have found that a written schedule, as stupid as it sounds, can be tremendously helpful. It takes away the decision making of "Oh god what do I do" and immediately cuts all the "I need to's" down to size.
Program that shit into a device. 9:00-9:15: meditate. Then the phone tells you at 9:15 that it's time to read, and you just do what you're told. Executive functioning, aka decision-making, seems like it ought to come naturally, which only lowers our self-esteem even further when it turns out to be one of the hardest things we humans do.
