Sounds like you have made some progress with the I9 and the driver's license. Awesome!
I offer these thoughts and opinions as encouragement. I wouldn't ask you do to anything I haven't done or currently do, I believe in these principals. That said, take what you deem to be beneficial, leave the rest. I don't have all the answers, that is for certain.
Spend 8 hours a day looking for, and/or preparing for a job. If you get a 40 hour a week job, good. Now go find a second job that won't interfere with the first.
C.O.P your living space. Your home, car, yard, etc... C.O.P = clean, organize, pick up. Just 10-15 minutes a day. Disheveled spaces and appearances can, and often times, reflect our mental state.
If you aren't living in the house, then the A/C ducts are not your concern.
Put effort into eating cleaner, exercising, and doing something mentally simulating, like reading or watching educational YouTube videos. You want incremental improvements compared to yourself yesterday. Not someone else. 20-30 minutes a day.
Engineer yourself a "win." Progress will beget more progress. Manage your time AND priorities, so that you feel productive about your day.
Make a schedule, starting with a wake up time, that is consistent. Write stuff down, like to-do lists, goals, and accomplishments... No matter how insignificant they seem.
Notice a few task I mentioned have a time frame attached. Point is, be intentional with your time. Adjust the specific numbers as needed.
Last, but not least: Consider a relationship with God. A sincere request for guidance could go a long way.
You got this. Press on.
