I am lazy. It's half because I've been able to coast through life so far with connections and my intellect and half because I have diagnosed depression. Now that I'm going to my country's top Engineering school I won't be able to keep doing what I've been doing or excuse myself from falling behind because of my mental health.

Right now I'm at a point where I do nothing productive and when I do it's the morning of. In the last year every test I studied for, every assignment, etc. Was completed the morning of. I know this isn't going to work anymore but so far everytime I try to change it I have this huge spurt of motivation that last a night or two and then I get back to my old ways.

I have been told that I need to develop discipline to be able to study and work consistently but I'm at a point where I struggle to get myself to sit down and work for even 20 min a day. I need some cold hard advice on how to get from rock bottom to hardworking because so far everything I've been told so fat is "get your shit together" and at this rate I am going to lose on one of the greatest opportunities of my life.
