If you are one of those people who jump from one task to another and never finish any of them, you have to organize yourself in what is important. It is advisable to do this with another person who will advise you.
Make a list with the things you have to do ("Things to do" or "to do list") and then give them two notes: one according to their urgency and the other according to their importance. Divide tasks that are very large, so that they can be more easily classified.
Do what is urgent quickly, to finish it as soon as possible, and try to spend most of the time on what is important.

With your advisor or a person you trust for greater objectivity, discuss the goals you have set for yourself, the deadline you have set for yourself and the Degree of compliance you have achieved so far.

Establish a time of exclusive dedication to the most complicated tasks (a difficult topic , a subject that you have not "seen" in class, the purpose to rest or to go out more with friends, etc.).
Seek support from others who have been there and know topic so you don't get stressed or anxious.

There are times when we put our illusions in a goal, but we do not achieve them because sooner or later, the willpower abandons us and overcomes us. Therefore, it is important to have a strong will.
As a suggestion to improve it, set yourself a point of improvement in which you can gradually increase your effort and that is sustained over time. A good example is doing sports -let's say going for a run-: you set a few days a week for that exercise, go for a run on those days regardless of the mood, and each week you can gradually increase the distance you run.
The same can be applied to reading a book if you do not like reading, or eating less... There are many possibilities, but the important thing is the constancy in doing them, even if they involve a sacrifice. You can discuss your progress with your advisor.

You perform better when you are rested. Include in your schedule at least one sport activity per week to improve your mood and physical condition and try to increase this frequency.
In the conference of work long, try to go out from time to time to take a breath of air, or to walk while you relax talking or simply thinking. Do not jump from one topic to another without leaving a brief space for what you have learned to "rest".
