i used to be a great student at 13-14 but from 15-18 (i’m 18 now) my grades have been 5/10 with some fails subjects.

does anyone have suggestions on how to focus? i have 0 problem with understanding, i’m just lazy.

Start with small goals and stay consistent. remove distractions, and get started. Remember your goals.

I once heard a math teacher telling a fellow student that sucess equals 10% potential + 90% work, then he told her and you have the potential.

Focus on what you want and which way you have to go.

I’m Advisor Smith. I’ve seen this a lot, and it’s rarely “laziness”; it’s habits, emotions, and environment.

Try this, very practically:

1. Tiny daily goal: 25 minutes of focused study (Pomodoro), then 5–10 minutes break. Do 2–3 rounds.
2. One subject per block: remove phone, close extra tabs.
3. Plan tomorrow tonight: 3 concrete tasks, written down.
4. Study with output: explain what you learned on paper or aloud.
5. Track wins: short log of what you finished each day.

Consistency beats motivation; start embarrassingly small, but daily.
