 Listen to yourself
I am hearing a real dichotomy in your tone. You know you need to space out the study but you don't. You know that it's good for you, in the long run, but you label it boring.
Instead of the stick, try the carrot? Pretend there's a 2 year old inside hollering, "I'm bored!" What can you promise the little squirt as a reward to leave you along for a while so you can really concentrate?
Physical activity helps. In the winter, opening a window or going outside and doing a few jumping jacks helps.
Keep a visual reminder of your progress. When I had to make X number of cold calls a day (which I hated, hated, hated to do) I kept a pile of pennies on my desk. Each call, a penny shifted into the 'done' pile. It sounds strange, but it got me through the tough stuff.
Good luck! G.
