how do you motivate yourself to do stuff you don’t wanna do, but have to do on a deadline? Like studying for a test, doing exhausting homework, etc.Jun 6, 2022

definitely not any good advice but I just do everything on the last minute…doesn’t work for everyone though
uhh you could also try doing it in small portions and when you‘ve done something give yourself a reward
or think about something you’re going to do when you’re finished with whatever you‘re doing

Oh and definitely I’d set a goal you want to have done and aim to get that goal and no more

Hm id say the first thing to do is make sure that you’ve eaten, you drank water, you showered if you feel like you should well rested etc. It may sound counter productive but if you’re trying to force urself to work and feel hella tired, hungry, etc, it’s likely that it’s not going to work at all.
Like def do stuff that would distract you before starting to work if it doesn’t take too long to do so
Then I’d put some time to make the area of work comfortable, getting rid of clutter in the area and somewhere that looks and feels nice for you
While working you can set a timer and have breaks. Depending on the work having some background music and/or a nice drink by your side helps
You can also think about what’s gonna happen after the exam for example if I study now I won’t have to retake the exam and I’ll relax a lot afterwards
Hope that helps cuz being unmotivated is the shittiest feeling ever

With absolute fear. I am very scared of getting bad grades or emberassing myself when I don't have homework. That's my only motivation.

Not every time but usually I listen to some songs or talk to some family member or friend I don't have any friends even at school so I just talk to my mom or brother!
