I'm struggling to find the motivation and focus. Do you guys have any tips?

I don't stay focused and I know this. When I was studying for a board exam I used Anki flashcards that I made and added mnemonics to. I then would do my bedtime routine, plug in my phone and do 15-30 mins of studying EVERY night. This made things easier for me. I'd try studying during downtimes in my day, but would quickly get distracted by work and other things. A little reward at the end of study sessions like being able to check social media or what not was helpful.

Coursera has a "Learning How to Learn" course that goes over a lot of that stuff too. I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's been good.
