How can a person overcome extreme laziness/ unwillingness?

Ok. So I have been expecting a lot to happen this year but everything has come out in disappointment. However, I have worked extremely hard to achieve good grades and improve my health by trying to shed a few pounds but this month laziness has literally swallowed me. I can't find anything fun anymore and I have lost my interest in doing things I loved, I keep telling myself I'm going to do this tomorrow and sometimes I just can't be bothered to make an effort, it has come to the point where I don't care about my size or appearance or what grades I get or what kind of person I am because I'm so tired and I'm in one of those I just don't care moods. I have lots of time and everyday I write a list of things I have to do but I can't get around to doing it. So, how do I get over being lazy?

Much appreciated.

    EXACT same thing I am going through! Ugh! It sucks, I know. But from experience I know that it is a phase I go through from time to time. So hopefully it is not the end of the road, life is going to pick up at some point. Wish I could give you a solution but I am in the same boat and need help myself too.

    You may be suffering from depression. You must check with a physician, you may need medication or therapy.

    If you have a case of procrastination, it may be fear driven. Analyze what it is that you are afraid of: e.g. fear of failure, success, grades not as high a expected, what to do after studies etc. Then chunk your tasks down to tiny bits and do the first and simplest, first. Do not procrastinate in other ways e.g. busy work... purchasing, cleaning etc, nothing that is not direct work for the main study / creative task. Give yourself small rewards then move on! If you are in too difficult a program switch, this is real life, not a movie or a TV series, with everyone having a Harvard MBA and law degree before they commence their career.

    Visualize success and move to it and get on the tread mill 30 mins every day!

    Watch an inspirational video someplace. think of of your GF, what's going to take place to you 2 in case you do no longer learn? she is going to bypass away you for a greater efficient guy, and you are able to not do something, you are able to blame her on the grounds which you your self is common with of which you're an rather lazy individual. ladies do unlike lazy adult males.
