Sometimes you need a bit of time to yourself, when i found myself procrastinating i would just take a break from study/hw and watch tv, go for a run, check fb etc. After which you will feel refreshed and you can hit the books again.
But you dont need to be cnostantly studying - well i dont think so anyway. So dont feel guilty if youre not studying.
If I tried to check FB as a short break I always ended up on it for multiple hours reading up on what I missed out on whilst studying. Yeah, I pretty much had no self control...
Lol i had fb/msn/an running most nights on my computer which just sat on my desk. Yeah it can be a distraction, but if you get your hw and study done then you dont have to worry ;)
Tis a skill you have to master.

The desire to beat my sister and be the dux of my school kept me going throughout the entire swotvac period. (Literally slept for 2 hours per day cramming it up during swotvac)

Best feeling in the world when I found out that beat my sister AND at the same time, get the dux by a margin of 0.05 (yes my sis got the same ATAR as the 2nd highest score in my school) Freaking trolled them so bad lolol.

I knew and know exactly what I want to do. That was seemingly enough.

I'm confused as to how you studying incredibly hard and being incredulously motivated = trolling your sister and whoever else you "trolled so bad"? Or maybe I'm missing something.

Trolled is used for anything nowadays unfortunately.

I completed VCE 2 years ago and I believe motivation actually came from results.
If I got a Result I wasn't happy with , it was just further motivation to study harder.

I started studying a week before exams, and the night before SAC's. I found nothing to motivate me :(
