Motivation help

What do you do if you are not motivated to do important stuff like studying? A lot of the time I'm forcing myself to study as I can't find the motivation to study.
I think that this can be very individual which is bad. But here are some things that have helped me. First of all just making a list of things to do and then thinking of a reward for after each task. Also, maybe thinking about how doing this today will really help me tomorrow so i can relax then. Also interacting online - this website is obviously great but for short term motivation you can definitely find stuff on social media like tiktok. If the amount of work you have is overwhelming just focus on starting one thing. I might say to myself ' do half of this worksheet' for example rather than thinking of everything at once and getting stressed. Hope this helps!
