I'm in my mid twenties and since elementary school I've never put effort into studying. This almost fucked me over when I went to college but I adjusted slightly and now I manage to pass with minimal effort but I'm always on the verge of failing and it's driving me insane, furthermore it makes me less than competent. Is it possible to unlearn this? Anyone manage to stop being a lazy piece of shit? How?

I feel like I can't talk about this without a part of me feeling smug for being le so smart but I know more than anyone how little I actually know and it bothers me.
