>>12822415Deadlines. I shared your problem as well, OP. When you have your self on a 'mental death-ground' it's much easier to acquire the habit. I just got done with a cybersecurity competition and it arguably made me study much harder and take everything more seriously. Find a way to make it so you REALLY have to take whatever your doing way more seriously. The consequence could be letting friends down, missing out on a new opportunity... The reward could be a cash prize, or a new career, etc. You just got to get creative with it.
