How to earn money at 13?

How do I become consistent?
I struggle with consistency. I know nobody's perfect and lose themselves in comfort sometimes but for me, it's almost like I don't care about the tasks I said I'll do. Maybe because I left room for negotiations, lost in the moment I never actually move. I can make bold decisions, sure. Confront my fear, doing things scared. But when it comes to maintaining a thing that's boring, repetitive? Yeah, no. Not everything. But most of thing that haven't become my habits yet. I know it's important that's why I'm asking for any advice! I've read and applied almost all of your answers. I appreciate it, sincerely. :)

I have a hard time keeping up with school work because of my extracurricular activities. Though I'm only doing 2-3 extracurricular activities, I'm still finding myself doing no work and just laying in bed. I can't really find a way to motivate myself to do better.
How can I get over this lack of motiviation?
I know I have interests, there's a section of my room dedicated towards things I truly know I care about. Guitar, Piano, Cameras, microphones for when I sing to record and my drawing tablet. But I can't bring myself to actually get up and practice - or if I do, I give up quickly. People say "you won't always feel like doing what you need too" or "find a job you love so you have a reason to get up everyday" but what if i struggle to even make it to that step? I can't find a reason to get up everyday - I just stare at the instruments and camera collecting dust - and feel guilty. Guilty that I have access to such tools that kids my age would kill to have - yet I can't find any passion, any motivation to try. Younger me loved being on the stage - playing piano, dancing etc. etc. but I just feel like no one is there to see my growth. I feel alone, and that might be why I don't try. I don't know if this is because my parents are unsupportive - practically my dad reminding me that it is "too late" for me to try and learn anything new. He's a harsh man, so maybe that could be a reason? I do have a therapist, if that is important - but it seems like no one understands what I have to say and I've been like this for the past three years. Does anyone else relate to this? How did you get over this hurdle?
