Sorry, had to crack the joke.
On a serious note, my answer would be: take an individualized approach. Here are some examples:
- Was your motivation damaged by decades of forced boring school? You need time to relearn enjoyment of learning
- Are you a nihilist? Seek therapy and a real reason to live with passion.
- Are you depressed, PTSD, etc? Seek help.
- Are you unhealthy? Change it.
- Do you genuinely have ADD or something that neurologically explains it? Seek help.
- Are your friends unmotivated like you? Seek different friends.
- Do you sleep poorly? Improve that.
- Do you have an addiction that messes your dopamine (or NE, 5-HT) levels (porn, cocaine, etc)? Get help.
