You've got quick and easy ways to get dopamine so you gravitate towards it. Why would your brain ever willingly study if you've trained it to use your phone for instant dopamine.
You can In fact enjoy studying/work, you've no doubt felt the satisfaction of a productive day. The problem is that satisfaction isn't instantaneous like your phone or videogames so you'll do those more and your brain will start desiring it. Hence why people get addicted to their phones, porn, drugs etc.
What worked for me is getting rid of using my phone and watching videos from my day. This way during the day I can only read, workout, study, play guitar. At first it was difficult because I was very addicted to my phone. It did not take long tho until I a) started getting a ton of shit done and b) actually started to enjoy all the productive shit I was doing.
It sorta built on each other. By doing work I was getting ahead, by getting ahead i felt good, by feeling good i did more work, etc. Now im no longer behind on shit and could easily justify reintroducing my phone into my day to day life but I've realized that I'm more satisfied with my days this way. Now I dont want to go back and I've started selling my gaming pc and extra shit I dont need

make procrastination your goal
You either put it off and do something useful or finally get around to doing what you're meant to.

Man do I hate phones. It's like they're designed to be as addictive as possible.

Go stare at what you have to do.

I actually go and look at my schedule and then have an actual look at all the projects I have to do. Usually by then I'm like "Oh fuck, I actually have to be ontop of this."

It's weird. I just know that this is really good advice and yet I don't have the feeling I will actually follow this, even though I know it will greatly improve my quality of life. With each year that passes I become more convinced that free will is a lie.

like a muscle, the reflex needs training.

Practice by saying what you are going to do, then do it.
Start small. Make tea or coffee if you are totally incapable of other goals. Otherwise say something big.

Learn what your time threshold is.
If you say.. "I'm gonna do 20 pushups now" how much more/less likely are you to do it when compared with saying "I'm gonna do 20 pushups in 30 mins" or even "tomorrow".

You just see life's meaninglessness. And you'll see it more and more as you grow older and watch the same patterns unfold over and over. Currently, you're most likely doing your work for a great thief to come and steal it.
