Okay, first try and relax yourself - having a drink of water works for me, I don't know about you. That ought to somewhat stop your mental paralysis. I usually have the same problem as you in not wanting to start, but if you want to do well then you pretty much have to.

Maybe you could try doing a past paper or some other questions rather than sitting down and just reading/copying down notes. That way you'll know what your weaknesses are and you might be more motivated to learn the course. Or take baby steps - only revise a small subtopic at first and slowly expand your studying until you're doing everything.

Honestly, you can't force motivation - either you want to do well to the extent that you'll study; or you just don't care enough.
