Struggling to study

bump, didn't want to make a new thread for something which is probably asked on here all of the time.
I'm on the edge of getting kicked out of my first year of sixth form (AS) due to my predicted grades being very low, almost entirely due to work not being handed in (the work which I have done is usually on target). If I fail all of my mocks, the situation will get much worse. I have my first batch of mocks coming up in two days and I've done no work for them; I never revised for GCSEs so I don't really know how to motivate myself, and although I've spent days sitting in here telling myself that I need to get something done, I end up doing everything that isn't work (like writing this post).
It doesn't help that I don't really have any ambition to be wildly successful, or have any plans for the future. I have no idea how you academics do it, but at the same time, there are hundreds of thousands of people like me. I just need to get something done, and I'm curious as to how all of you do.

The OP is in a very different situation to you. They are a year 14 aiming for probably top maths universities.

Nevertheless, I will try to help you. Which subjects do you do? Do you enjoy them? To be honest, most of the work I do, I do for fun because I like my subjects.

I'm doing History, English Literature, Government and Politics and Economics. I enjoy the subject matter itself most of the time. Economics is more difficult than the others to me due to the fact that there are more calculations to learn, as opposed to being able to 'just write' (if you will) based on sources and prompts (i.e sources in history, personal interpretations in English, etc). Not by coincidence, I'm weakest in economics, and it will only get more difficult if I don't get it all figured out before the actual exams.

The most frustrating thing is that I probably wouldn't find it too difficult if I just dedicated a little time to working instead of refreshing the websites I regular and writing forum posts. The difficulty of the subjects isn't the problem, I'm just incredibly lazy. I wish liking the subjects was enough to block out the infinite distractions.

Same, I found myself to be incredibly lazy now that I'm no longer at school and no one to chase me up on work! ...And when I do work I find myself taking my time, it's been so long since I was under timed pressure.
