How do y'all stop procastrinating whilst studying?

hey everyone,
I'm in first year of college and I study Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Further Mathematics and the workload just stepped up a gear! I really struggle with maintaining focus so it takes me a lot longer to get things done😫. I tried using focus apps like forest but it really isnt helping. Can anyone offer any suggestions please and save me from the impending doom of failing my A levels next year arghhh!

Thank you

lol I'm literally procrastinating right now but let's just pretend I'm not

dunno if you've ever tried this but I like to listen to lofi hiphop (you know those 'beats to relax/study/sleep to' videos) when i'm working or revising, it really helps me focus on what I'm doing

also a couple of years back I played this 'brown noise' video on youtube and surprisingly it helped me to concentrate as well, even though it was basically just static noise

you could also try using a todo list app so it like scares you into doing work? but that might make you more stressed so maybe not lol

Don’t have your phone near you when revising, try to do as much revision offline as possible
