Hey people! I'm currently in my final year of Bachelors, pursuing psychology. For quite some years now, I have been aiming to pursue sports psychology, which my parents have been supportive of, and still are. The plan has generally been to go abroad for my masters degree, which my parents still do want me to do. However, due to many circumstances(primarily financial), it appears that I won't be able to go abroad next year as I planned.  Again, due to one of the circumstances my parents are also pushing me to do an MBA and then work a while and go abroad with my own money. I completely understand their point of view, and I get why they are giving me this push. My elder brother is already abroad, so it would be too much of a burden on my parents side to send me as well. Now, I have to prepare for an entrance exam i order to get into a good college to do an MBA here, but as I have been preparing for it, it is evident that I am severely lagging behind, and the exam is just short of 4 months away. I generally spend two hours on preparing for the entrance exam per day, but my folks insist that this isn't enough, and my father has been insisting that I work 8 hours a day AFTER I come back home from college(this includes studying for that exam and managing college work), which I fear will lead to a burn out. So coming to the point of the title, I feel a complete lack of drive and motivation towards this. In general, I have always been a lazy person. I know that if I put in a good deal of effort towards things, particularly those of my interest, I will yield good results, as I have seen so in the past. Also, my parents pester me about this a few times a day, so that has been getting on my nerves quite a bit, though I know that they have good intent at heart.  I see no harm in giving the entrance exam this year but it is quite unlikely that I will crack it. 
Can anyone here give me advice on how overcome my lethargic nature? I have always seemed to lack the drive required. Laziness has overcome me 99% of the time.
