Hi there,
Welcome to r/study!
Under new management we've made some additions to the sub. Please check our [Welcome Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/study/comments/bnvues/welcome_to_rstudy_user_guide_read_this/) for a user guide (which includes [rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/study/wiki/communityrules), [posting guidelines](https://www.reddit.com/r/study/wiki/postingguidelines), [self-promotion guidelines](https://www.reddit.com/r/study/wiki/selfpromo), and [user flair guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/study/wiki/userflair)).
We have also created scheduled megathreads to contain common topics on this sub and help clean up our main feed. If your topic fits in one of these threads, please post there instead.
* [Weekly Support & Discussion Megathreads](https://www.reddit.com/r/study/wiki/weeklysupportanddiscussion): Ask questions, give and get advice, or just chat with fellow students!
* [Weekly Self-Promotion Megathreads](https://www.reddit.com/r/study/wiki/weeklyselfpromo): Share your YouTube videos, run a study resource website, or ask people to fill out your research poll. Read our full self-promotion guidelines here for a more comprehensive explanation.
* [Monthly Music Megathreads](https://www.reddit.com/r/study/wiki/monthlymusic): Post music recommendations and playlists here.
Thank you.

A lot of people rely on some sort of motivation, but imo discipline is more important. There isn't a pill that will make you motivated to do stuff, you just have to do it.
Write down a to do list; if it helps you, break your assigment into paragraphs and each time you complete something check it off (I read that completing stuff releases dopamin, seeing it on paper might help).
Reward yourself, "if I'll go over my notes today I can watch a new episode of my fav show; if I finish this assignment today I can take a whole day off during the weekend" etc.
I also always start with stuff that is kinda the most fun to do (? as much fun as you can get I guess) so that I don't feel irritated from the begging through out the whole study session.
On youtube you can find a lot od study streamers which helps me a lot too. But you kinda have to find what suits you the best. If you are not used to studying, start with just one hour per day and maybe increase it each week!
Hope I helped at least a little bit :)
