Most of the time I struggle staying organised and motivated to do things when I finish from work (especially my uni work). Some days I'm fully motivated, other I am not motivated at all, and when i am motivated i get easily distracted. Does anyone have any tips to help stay organised to a routine and to stay motivated? And to help get less distracted?

Thank you in advance

I give myself treats for finishing something or a break kind of reward after a specific amount of work. It’s not big stuff, like listen to a fav song or watch a specific tv show. But it’s something to look forward to if I finish xyz.

I'll give that a try, I often listen to instrumental music whilst studying, which helps me be less distracted. Bur never thought of using treats

Make a routine or schedule time to self organize.

In the morning I go for a walk and mentally plan my day until lunch. At lunch I plan my afternoon. At dinner I plan my evening.

Before I finish work I make a todo list for the next day so I know what I need to work on when I start work.

Take notes and write everything down.
