Different ways to snap out of it and be productive?

I know I have to do study but I end up watching YouTube. What are all the ways to snap out of it and do what you are supposed to do.

@Vido Block youtube from your computer. Remove it from your phone.

@Vido Snap out of what exactly? What exactly are you feeling, sensing, perceiving when you feel the need to snap out of.

When I was "supposed to" study but I did not, maybe I thought I did not really have to study and that I would be alright cramming later. I have also wasted time trying to start too early, before covering class content.

For me, it was not so much 'snapping out if it' as 'snapping into it.' I found that when I got engaged it my work, I began to enjoy it. It is my work. So it may feel boring to start, and sometimes very hard to press on; but once I got into it, I found it enjoyable and interesting.

@RobertZ Perhaps is it your perception of the study rather than the reality of the study that is difficult? This is the basis of self motivation. It is easy to talk out way out of something than to do it.
