Timers. Set a timer for a set amount of time where you will STUDY. Take a break when the time is up
Dedicate days and keep a schedule. Say you do x class(es) Monday, Wednesday and Y class(es) Tuesday, Thursday. Put it in your calendar. Hold yourself responsible
Try a reward/punishment system. Sometimes people need more than just a reward to motivate them. I'm definitely one of those people. What I do is I have to pay $5 to a savings account everyday that I don't do what I said I would. On days I do, I get to go on Amazon and build a wish list. At the end of a certain period (after a test, at the end of the semester, etc) I get to spend the money I put aside. If I managed to successfully work every day I said I would for that period, I get to buy the thing I want the most from the list and i get to reward myself with something else like a trip to the ice cream shop or a new piercing or something
If you really can't seem to do the thing, just do it for 5 minutes. Chances are you'll wind up finishing it or doing a big chunk of it
Find fun activities to keep you occupied and active mentally. Things like reading, writing, painting, photography, animal care, whatever you like.
Create a space dedicated to doing your work. Only do your work there
Set goals and timelines. Like I want to get a third of this project done by next week or something. Use the reward/punishment system
Clear distractions when you work. Put your phone on silent and charge it away from you. Put headphones in and go to work
Change your thinking. Instead of thinking you have to do this, tell yourself that you get the chance to learn something new and do something that not everyone knows about
Talk about your work. By sharing it, you are holding yourself responsible
Keep your home life and school life seperate like before. Yes you are at home now, but school stays during "school" times and home stays during "home" times
Keep snacks and water near you when you work so you don't need to get up for them. Stay focused. No excuses
Keep your room clean and organized
I know things are hard and confusing currently with everything happening so rapidly. Just know I'm here for you and I'm sure plenty of other people are too.
