Literally just do it. Thinking about how to stop procrastinating is procrastinating.

Make a plan. I like having a checklist of all the things I need to do. If it's 10 lectures, I'll split them up into a reasonable time frame, including some time I know I'm going to waste and fuck off during. Will have 10 check boxes, checking one off every time I finish it. The accomplishment of checking off all the boxes is satisfying.

That sounds annoying.
Install an extension that allows you to increase the playback speed to x3.
Then Just watch like one or two lectures a day and hope for the best.
Getting motivation is never easy and every advice out there will just be a fancy version of just do it but by at least splitting up the task you have a slightly improved chance of overcoming your mental barriers.
Also if you just watched your daily two lectures and still dont feel drained watch another one to speed things up even more.
Alternatively you can try just studying with the course notes provided by the professor but that is usually much harder than watching the lectures.
No matter what you choose make sure to start today.
Good luck

Also, if you can get stimulants, take them.

Start taking some kind of stimulant always before learning (something like caffeine or modafinil). Once you do it enough times you start to create a habbit of studying whenever you take said substance, which will make it easier to start studying.

Quoted By:

You procrastinate because what you're doing makes you feel bad probably both physically and on a very subconscious level. You have to be patient with yourself, recognize what about them makes you feel bad. It could be around how much time they will take, worries about not understanding them, or just a subconscious association that has built up from all the cramming that a procrastinator does, you cram and feel terrible, it associates that doing work makes you feel terrible. You have to have a very understanding conversation with yourself, get to the bottom of why your higher level goal of doing well in class makes you feel miserable in the process. Maybe you need to reconceptualize the stuff you're learning, maybe you need to carefully balance reward. Certainly you need to make sure you dont add to making it any more miserable by getting pissed off at yourself and for coming short. You know already that you're having issues, so dont attack yourself when you have them. This takes time, and you probably wont fix it in a two week time span, because you have to undo years of learned strategy and associations regarding procrastination. You'll figure it out though, just accept that you want it to change it make a piecemeal effort. The probability that you fix it all at once is low, that's why it hasn't worked before, and attempting a one day fix is part of the procrastinators mindset. Good luck fren

Join a local maker community / start a local maker community. Working with people on things is 100% better than beating your own intellectual meat and making messes you have to clean up yourself.

You have to get into the psychology behind motivation. Why are you trying to do something you don't want to do? Is there some other way you could make enough money to be happy without doing the thing you don't want to do? Is there a particular task you want to use EE to accomplish? If so, get busy on that task. If you are just lying to your self about what motivates you, restructure your life in such a way that you don't have to lie to yourself to get through the day. There is no secret to being interested. You either desire the knowledge for some reason like solving a difficult problem or prestige (a weak reason but it works for some people,) or you need to be doing something you actually want to do.

I don't think that has been achieved before. A few warlords have managed to breed with many a young woman though. Star small. See if you can breed with more than one young woman and if you can gain the privilege of access to just one nuclear weapon (much harder to do than get young concubines by the way.) It takes just as much time and effort to be a good nuclear physicist as it does to raise a family or chase women.

Do it in batches. You want to "get in the zone" so that you can just keep working nonstop without needing to ditch your work to play around.
When I have to cram I work 50 min on 10 min off, every 3 hours I take a 30 min food break. It sounds like it wouldn't work but it's just the right amount of activity to slow burn for 16 hours without stopping

Nope, actually they are in the hands of 30 IQ retarded monkey politicians. And soon they will be in the hands of a senile pedophile that pisses himself and forgets his train of thought mid-sentence.

What do you do during your 10 minute break? How do you stop yourself from just blowing past your ten minute limit?

It's almost easier for me to just grind 6 hours straight than take breaks where I'm liable to get distracted for 3 hours
