Commit to something, or don’t. In 100 years you’ll be dead no matter what you choose to do.

Focus on making yourself a better person. It will be a long journey with ups and downs.

But you will make it.

Exams is one part of your journey.

Once you have this mindset, you will have direction, and therefore motivation.

All the best!!

Commit to your goal and focus on it completely. I have spoken.

Let's say you don't work hard in the time up to those exams. You won't be able to enjoy the time from now to the exams due to the nagging thought of the time you should be spending studying, and you wouldn't be able to enjoy the time afterwards due to the lingering guilt of not having done everything you could have.
Let's say you do work hard in the time up to those exams. You won't be able to enjoy the time from now to the exams, but at least you'll be able to enjoy the time afterwards knowing that you did your best.

So either way, you won't be able to enjoy up to the exams. But you may or may not be able to have a blast after the exams based on your choice of whether to grind now, or to laze off.

Typically, the difference between people who achieve their life goals is not talent or luck, but discipline. You would do well to develop that at this age. Think of this as not about the exams, but more about developing yourself through developing discipline. You can find a lot of ways to keep yourself studying:

When you want to totally give up studying and procrastinate, make a list of things you want to do, and do them after the exams. As you go along, add items to that list. That will help you get it out of your system refocus on your exams to earn that list.
You'll see the toughest part is the initial 20% - 30% of the effort. Once you get started and have already invested some time and energy into your studies, the amount you have invested will make you care more about the effort you are putting in and get you more focused on the goal. It becomes easier to stay disciplined.
Keep track of how many hours you study, or how many topics you have completed. Most importantly, make a list of topics that you have to do (up to 5 topics), and as you do them, put them in a "done" section while filling up the to do section with the newer topics. As the "done" list grows, you'll start to get more invested and staying disciplined will become easier.

Bottom line, you need to focus on developing discipline. See for yourself how much more enjoyable it will make the time after the exams, if you give it your best with discipline at this stage. Hope the above tips help, but you'll probably come up with your own tricks as you go along.

All the best.

The life you live is a bridge. On one side is an animal, the version of you driven by primal desires like sex and gluttony. The other side is the version that you want to be. Both wolves are gay.

Look man, motivation isn't permanent. It's fickle and fleeting like most things in life. However, what is constant is change. Find your own path to build a mindset where nothing can keep you down. Discipline, Honesty, Humility, Effort. Study. Do what is necessary to succeed in your goals, even if it sucks. I'll leave you with this: https://youtu.be/Gx5r0ZsIlBs

Motivation is not as reliable or concrete as discipline

See your exams as a mean to an end, OP. Schooltime is only a small part of your life. Think about what you want to do in the working field. Doesn't necessarily have to be an exact job, just think about the fields of work. Medical, legal, trades, tech, IT, etc. It also helps to strike out fields that you're absolutely not interested in.

What I'm trying to say is: education can be priceless if you have a goal to work to. Just prepare yourself for upcoming exams and get your degree asap.

Give these a ponder:

• You will never feel like it, do it anyway
• Procrastination is avoiding the bad feelings connected with the task.
• Action ends suffering.
• What would future you want you to have done at this time?
• Don't value the pain of today
• Start!
• The question is not "what's the least I can do and elicit a response?" instead ask "What's the most I can do and survive?"

First and last I personally find powerful.
