Your future self is a stranger right now. Start introducing yourselves.

The you of ten years from now is barely a real person yet, which is why it is so easy to hand them the consequences of today. The savings, the sleep, the thing you keep meaning to learn: all of it gets postponed onto somebody who does not feel like you yet. They will exist anyway, with your face and whatever you did or did not do.

Do one small thing this week purely for them, with no payoff for you. Put a little money aside, or start the thing that takes years.
