Everyone has this problem to some degree, we all procrastinate (look at the floor) more than we want/like to. Try changing locations --> Go to a park, library, beach, cafe without your cell phone. Make a schedule of the time you have left and the tasks you need to accomplish.
You need to take breaks and have fun so you can study later (we are not robots). Sports (cardio) and good diet can help your mood A LOT. Use different learning mediums when available (videos, documentaries, audiobooks, ..etc) Study with your friends Keep in mind that long term happiness requires only-short-term hardships, and vice versa.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
