Most of it, no. But reading GTD by Paul Allen helped me develop some tools to create a fairly low effort routine that helps (although sometimes I fall off, I asked my partner to help coax back on if she senses I fell off). I also just created a very rudimentary reward system to incentivize good behavior.

That’s not the point, though. You need to qualify that your behavior is creating stress or problems, be motivated to solve it, and be open to uncomfortable changes. However, things like ADHD and depression will be very significant obstacles to that (I have both), making it seem impossible to take even the smallest, earliest step. Only ones qualified to help you with that is a professional.
