If it's any help, one of the statements that stuck with me the most about "doing the thing" is from Amy Hoy:

> You know perfectly well how to achieve things without motivation.[1]

I'll also note that I'm a firm believer in removing the mental load of fake desires: If you think you want the result, but you don't actually want to do the process to get to the result, you should free yourself and stop assuming you want the result at all. Forcing that separation frees up energy and mental space for moving towards the few things you want enough.
