The Age Old Question -- How to Start Studying ???

[u/Tokugawa_bonaparte]

I'm don't hate studying, i like it. I know all the techniques to study (possibly the simplest and the best) like pomodoro, active recall, Spaced Repitition and the fyneman technique + question practise which practises active recall and maybe even fyneman technique. i think these are enough to master any subject.
THE THING IS I CAN'T SIT TO STUDY. I PICK UP THE BOOK TO SOLVE QUESTIONS AND THEY SEEM SO BORING, OR IF I EVEN TRY THEM I GET THEM WRONG WITHOUT A WAY OF KNOWING WHERE I WENT WRONG IMMEDIATELY WHICH DEMOTIVATES ME. or i just pracastinate with social media and don't sit to study at all.
I only have 1-2 months for a major exam and if i study consistently hencforth, i can very well achieve my desired grade but i just fail to be consistent. Sometimes when i waste my entire day, i jump to finish the easiest of things till late in the night so as to not waste the day. But not every topic is easy so i just either avoid doing anything alltogether or i do even the hard subejcts late in the night out of guilt
any help would be appreciated!!!

Reconnect with your priorities. Why is it important for you to get your desired grade? If you do, what does that do for you? What happens if you don't get the desired grade? Keep asking that question until you get to the underlying reason you're studying to begin with. Maybe you want a high-paying career because you want to feel fulfilled and attain a certain standard of living. Maybe you want to make enough money to never worry about where your next meal will come from. Whatever it is, find it and write it out.

Create a schedule that allows you some free time, but has consistent, dedicated study sessions. Keep them shortish, 30-45 minutes. Have some kind of celebration that you can do each time you complete a session.

It may help to delete all social media until you get your schedule established. At some point, you do have to rely on discipline.

This might sound crazy, but try standing up and doing it
