How can I find the motivation to study?

I need to pass exams in June that will improve my life. I can never work up the motivation or discipline to study or do assignments and I'm falling behind.

I keep procrastinating.
I'd love to be able to just cut out everything in my life and study for 5+ hours a day. How do I find the will to do this?

I came to advice to ask the same thing. Been trying to figure this out for a while but nobody seems to have an answer. sorry. bumping for answers.

thats the thing about will is that you have it or you dont. you cant will will into existence.

You can lose will or gain will through means. You can't "will" will itself I understand but nearly everyone started out in the same circumstances. I'd just like to find a way to adapt and get me to that stage like millions of others do every day.

I don't like to do this but I need you to be serious

If this is chronic as in it has happened to you repeatedly, try seeing your doctor and getting an ADHD diagnosis. You'll probably get Adderall if you're American. Adderall will get you through studying for the time being. When you don't have to study, continue to take it and learn study skills. Learn the Cornell note taking method, Eisenhower Matrix, chunking, pomodoro method, colors for notes, organization skills, buy an agenda (any will do. Hobonichi has awesome ones), use said agenda religiously all the time of the day carry it with you check it and fill it out. Spend time somewhere quiet and away from distractions. Adderall takes your mental focus and makes into a laser beam, if you direct that laser beam onto studying, great, if you direct it onto porn or vidya, fuck.

Also your room will be clean.

I have ADHDI. GF also has it. Everyone here can argue about whether it's a meme disorder or whatever, the truth is, I couldn't function well in school or general society without it because I couldn't hold a thought very long I couldn't focus and so on.

Tldr get Adderall. Don't buy it off the street. Fuck people who do that

I am currently taking Vyvanse, for a legit ADHD condition, how do I switch to Adderall? What can I say to my doctor to convince him to switch?

ADHD is a meme disorder. You're just a undisciplined cunt. Learn to man up.

Try studying for just one hour or 30 minutes a day and build yourself up to it. You can't just go 0 to 100 in one second, build up your acceleration, get yourself used to studying every day, build a habit. It takes 28 or so days for habit to stick to the point where you feel uncomfortable if you're not doing it daily. It takes something like 60 days for it to just become a part of your daily motions, like playing video games or going on the internet.

Take your time and be patient and understanding with yourself. If you fuck up and miss a day, it doesn't mean you're not cut out for it or something, it just means you missed a day.

Attach it to your rewards system. Constant gratification is culture of the time you're living in, at least in the west. Your rewards system is there to motivate you, not placate you. Deny yourself pleasures unless you complete the task you want to complete that day.

Keep thinking about why this is important to you. How will it affect your life? What about your family or loved ones? Is your performance going to positively affect their lives too? How specifically?

Above all, OP, what you're describing makes me think that you don't think you have a choice in the matter.

If you don't remember anything else from this post, rememeber that you have to keep making decisions! Making decisions related to your studies means that you are in control! Make a decision right now. Decide to study, decide to make time for yourself to study today, decide to put off gratifying yourself.

Remember that this happens in steps. You will not be able to accomplish everything at once. Treat it like a battle! Divide your challenges and the conquer them. Use the ones you've conquered to conquer the others. Crush your enemies, drive them off, and hear the lamentations of their women!

Also read up on emotional intelligence. It will help you learn how to delay gratification, self motivate, etc.
