I already do the delayed gratification, but no personal goal. I simply don't have the money or energy to do anything beyond my personal obligations, heck I don't even have hobbies anymore. Just do my work, check my notifications, do the chores, fall asleep, go to the gym a few times a week, rinse and repeat. I do have a strict mother I live with, she's basically the reason why I do anything nowadays because otherwise what else could I feasibly do with my life?
You're ahead of the curve!
Your first obligation is to yourself. If you've settled into a routine which is the minimum possible standard and don't have anything left over for yourself, then you need to break that routine somehow.
Whatever you want! Pick something you think you might like and try it out. Then at least you'll know if you might enjoy it as a hobby.
Are you 100% certain you haven't baked your assumptions of her expecations into your actions?
You're an adult human being with agency; do something that makes you happy, or that might make you happy.
