Study and learning tips (self.chat)

I never really managed to get into the habit of studying for school, and even when i tried and sat down somehow always in like half an hour i caught myself thinking about or doing something completely different. Now that im about to enter university im afraid that i will not be able to continue like this without heavy consequences. What systems and tips did you find useful for school related work and doing stuff without interest in general?

I went all in on grades and work. I have no memories from university. I was baked morning, noon, and night. Just study, work, eat, sleep, smoke, exam, etc. I wrote my final exams with mononucleosis. Said, "peace out" to my "friends" and moved to another country 4 months later. I only speak with one person I was at university with who I also went to high school with.

I check in on certain people. They don't remember me. My professors still wish me "happy birthday" though.

Socialising cannot be ignored. Some of your courses, especially the intro courses and electives, can be given a lower priority sometimes if you need to disconnect from school stuff.
