  Focus on something that interests you.
  
  So far, it's been working for me. Have gotten only one C (hopefully it's the only C, I hate that fac for giving me C)

  you are just the same as me! haha!!! no cure de!!!
  
  to start your engine, simply have the determination to start the first step and this how you get your old fast engine back ^^
  
  but i dun have the determination to start... it only last during exam periods... haha

  When nothing works, brute force does.

  Same here. No motivation to start on anything.
  
  I think sticking to a schedule keeps me going best. Do up a schedule, stick to it.
  
  No need to stick to everything, but just do abit slowly. Sooner or later, you'll start to get the drive.

  Like some forumers above said, u gotta have a schedule. Create an overall goal. Split things into smaller tasks.. so that each time u complete a task, u'll feel a sense of accomplishment.. like u're closer to your goal. And be mindful of what would happen if u were to fall short of that goal (repeat year? lose friends? face parents? self-loathing? etc, etc).. and then find out what best motivates u. Is it encouragement? Fear? Friends? Family?
  
  Personally, I found that fear is the best motivator for me. The fear of failing, growing too old to learn, being stuck in Singapore for the nxt 10 years or more (NOOOoo). That's what's propelling me forward now at light speed. hehehehe.
