Here are some hacks on how to keep up your study motivation:
Make a schedule. It will make it easer to follow up if you determine a plan in advance. You can hang your schedule above your desk to remind you of your daily work.
Break your work into small packages. You will not be able to work through everything at once. Divide work by topics and work on them one by one. This will also make it easer to see results as one small package by a time keeps up your motivation.
Make colorful notes. Make notes and mark important things. Writing things yourself instead of you just reading them will make you remember them easier and faster. Also the notes are more intuitive and fun to revise and look on again if they are colorful organized.
Allow yourself for a break. You cannot keep focus and study the whole day. Set time frames that you want to study in. Outside of these times put your school stuff away. If you loose focus in a study session allow yourself for a break and do something you enjoy to regain focus (go for a walk, cook, eat, nap). Also do not study everyday, decide for a break day that is a day just for you. It will make studying more fun as it won't feel like a daily punishment.
Put away the phone. Your phone with its pop ups and notifications distracts you easily. When studying put it on silent and away from you desk. Also close distracting features such as social networks on your laptop.

Very good advice! Also remember to eat snacks that give you energy and drink a lot of water!
