Hare Krishna, everyone
I recently just took an entrance exam test to go to high school(When you are in 8th grade you have to do things like these if you want to go to a good high school just in case someone doesn't know). Before this, I was able to chant 4 rounds walking up at 4:00 in the morning and then when the test was coming (2 weeks left) I stopped chanting so I could put my focus on the test. Now that the test is over I wanted try to get back on the path but I just can't seem to wake up early to chant and in the evening I have 0 motivation to chant. Do you have any tips on how I can get back on this path properly and even improve? Thank you for your time, Sincerely, Bhanu Prakash Talluri.

Arjuna was also not highly motivated to fight in the battlefield of Kurukshetra initially. But then, Lord Sri Krsna spoke the trancendental message of Bhagavad Gita, which inspired Arjua greatly to not only engage in battle, but to win eventually. So one is inspired to practice bhakti by hearing to the transcendental message of Sri Krsna in the form of Bhagavad Gita , Srimad Bhagavatam, Chaitanya Caritamrita etc.
Please listen to discourses on these transcendental literature. There are daily Srimad Bhagavatam classes in almost every Iskcon temple all over the worlls. Other than tat there are many weekly programs and separate courses/Seminars on Bhagavad Gita , specific topics etc. You could either visit your center nearby to get connected or hear at your own place online, either live or after downloading the subects. Inparallel you could also start reading Books of Srila Prabhupada. Start with small books.
