How to stop proscatinating ;_;

You gotta find that dog in you. Ask yourself why you're learning this stuff. To make gun mods in video games? To design anime figurines? Porn?
Without that motivating goal, you're just making that donut to make that donut, which feels like shit.
Once you have that goal, break it down by what you need to do or learn to achieve it, then tackle each step one at a time. Simple as.

Prescriptive Advice: Just pick a time. Everyday, everyweek w/e. Just pick one.
For an hour, 2 hours, 15 minutes, something you will promise to do 3D. If all you do is stare at an empty scene preview for an hour then that's the promise kept. You must open your software and look at it at the very least for the specified amount of time at the specified time.

Could've gone in the dumb question thread, for starters

Treat whatever it is you want to do as a serious project you are about to undertake.

Take some time and sit down and formulate a plan of what you are going to do; contemplate what are the steps that are necessary to follow thru.
Break those steps into actionable sub-goals or mile stones, Than break those down into tasks that can be immediately acted upon tho contribute towards
that longterm goal you've decided you wanted done.

Once you atomized any task to that point you can see what it'll take to complete every hour you invest into it will forwards the effort.

Also know this; willpower is a muscle that grows stronger the more you use it.
Whenever you don't want to do something but do it anyways that is you taking direct control and grow less reliant on the whims of your psychological life.

If your will is weak start strengthening it today by deliberately pushing past your current comfort levels.
Do this habitually and a few years from now you will have obtained strong will.

The key is not to waste a day doing nothing. For example, force yourself to spend atleast an hour everyday on your project even if you feel like shit. There's no wrong brush stroke in art. Every stroke act as a guideline for a better stroke.
As long as you never waste an entire day, you will eventually get your drive back and will be able to go back to working 8-12 hours a day.

Have deep passion for the medium

Imagine the goal/result/end. Not the process. Focus on the positive feeling that you will get if you finish your project. Not about the steps you need to take to go there.

Call it positive thinking/affirmation/lying to yourself/etc. It works. Obviously it works better if you have strong imagination and visualization.

cry harder little baby bitch boy it's been 19 hours since you posted and still nothing to show for it. I saw your post and got out of bed just to make this. It comes down to work ethic and at the end of the day you're just another lazy ideas guy

Actually learn how to do things the right way. The right way is fast.
If you stick to your own shitty way you'll get crappy results very slowly, so that kills motivation

You will get nowhere in 3D and in life if you cannot kill that procrastination urge. You have to attack.
