One technique is to aim to write your entire story in a short period of time. Don't worry about getting it perfect; just get to the end before you run out of inspiration. You can always fix problems later. Plan your story enough that you aren't going to get stuck half way through, but not so much that you get bored with it before you've even started. Then set aside some time to write intensively, without distractions.

(This is based on the 'How to Write a Novel in Three Days' technique. More details here: interestingliterature.com/2014/11/michael-moorcock-how-to-write-a-novel-in-3-days/ )

You could try giving yourself an extremely ambitious writing goal ("I will write 3,000 words before lunch") and seeing if you can do it; even if you fail, you'll probably achieve more than you would have otherwise.

Also, as a young person, remember that your real goal should be improving your techniques for bigger future projects. It doesn't matter if you write something that wasn't as good as you hoped it would be, or even if you failed to finish, as long as you learned something along the way.
