Plenty of the most impactful people in history had no clue what they wanted to do until they were in their 30's. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you're not going fast enough. You have time to figure it out.

You could be physiologically different. Free will is a tricky concept. You may have low impulse control and ability to pursue delayed gratification. We are all wired differently with different concentrations of chemicals. So what I’m saying is maybe studying ain’t for you. Or maybe it is. But don’t be a halfway person, pick studying or working then go at it full force.

Although this thread is fully of joke responses I’m gonna help you with yours and suggest two books. Productivity Ninja and Eat the Frog.
What you need is not time management but attention management.

Motivation is based on fear of consequences or desire for reward. You're comfortable enough that you neither need the uplift nor have internalized what you might lose.
One of those things will change, don't worry.

Think *really hard* about what you want from your life. And put yourself in the path to make that desire a reality. Now tell me, do you see that path not involving a degree?
