Ok I have a reason for that. I changed how I write because old way was inefficient so I'm practising writing neat and every time I continue my notes I am very critical of neatness. Sounds like a lame excuse but it's so messy, I can't stand it!!!

-This manifesto kind of inspired me to study hard throughout my senior years: https://www.holstee.com/products/holstee-manifesto-poster-12x16, also check out this: http://cdn.wonderfulengineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/motivational-wallpaper-5.jpg
and this video: http://www.timeo-performance.com/#video

But ultimately, no amount of motivational stuff is going to help you if you don't build up some sort of intrinsic source of motivation yourself-construct reasons and goals why you need to study hard and do everything to aim for your goals!

There are many "motivational" type websites including good quotes. :)

Here are some:

* It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. Confucius

* Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Thomas A. Edison

* Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. Og Mandino

* In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can. Nikos Kazantzakis

* Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going. Sam Levenson

* Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines. Robert H. Schuller

* The secret of getting ahead is getting started. Mark Twain

* By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. Benjamin Franklin

* Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
Norman Vincent Peale

* The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence. Confucius

Success is the best revenge
That motivates me somehow
Also, thinking that working very hard for another 2-3 years will get me into a 6 year med course definitely motivates me.

In my breaks, I scroll through my Tumblr where I have followed Studyblrs - really nice to see how they do their notes, what kind of layout their table has, the healthy foods they eat + a lot of colourful motivational images which I print out, cover in contact paper and stick on my wall !

I'm also going to take a polaroid with me in my senior school uniform and hold an A4 paper with my ATAR goal, stick that to my cork board in front of me and literally, look at it to remind myself of my long-term goal!

BUT, try not to waste time doing these things, maybe in your free time when you're not studying.

Here are some I have found:
