Do the hard and unpleasant tasks first!

Dr. Pychol says: "Start with easy tasks. Do task you are motivated to do right now"

I would like to spend my time differently but it is so difficult!
I just cannot sit for myself and read for a long time. It's too lonely. I have to get out and meet people.
I am not motivated right now. Its still a long time to Exams. I will make it up later.
I always miss something when I'm going to sit down to read, or I'm not able to continue until I have spoken to someone, like my supervisor
I am not able to learn by only reading textbooks, and the lectures are so boring.
It's hard to work effectively for a whole day when I do not have any lectures.

Motivation
Excuse Root cause What you can do to make it easier
I am not motivated right now. It's still a long time to Exams. I will make it up later.
The goal is too far away
1. Define short term goals like submissions, lab-reports, and tests.
2. Create a weekly plan!
Make sure you get feedback on those. Find previous exams and test your knowledge.
I don't see how I can apply this later when I start working. I will probably never need this.
Cannot see the connection to future career success.
Ask the lecturer, fellow students or people who have worked for a while about the relevance of the subjects for future studies or work.

We learn in different ways, and the traditional method is not necessarily the best for you.
How do you learn best?
Find out through Kolb learning styles:• By reading, reflecting and relate new stuff with
what you already know• By observing and listening to others to get
several view points• Through conversation with others, for example
through group work• By trying out things, lab exercises and practice.
When you know, you can try use more of the learning style that you like best.
