I usually just smoke a blunt, forget about them and play video games.
Would not recommend. None of this shit is getting done!
Don’t worry about it, you’ll forget them sooner than you think

Write them down. Then stack ur substances. Meds (I cannot advise going over what is prescribed as I'm not a doctor), caffeine, nicotine etc. Do 30mins work with no phone/internet (if that's possible for the work ur doing) then take 5 mins break. Take a walk that usually helps. Write down a list of things your going to do once u have completed said exam make sure its something u look forward to.
Write your ideas down. Prioritize them based on whatever criteria you need. The idea is to get them out of your head so you can focus on the task at hand.
I've been writing ideas down for years and the other day I pasted a whole bunch of them into Gemini, asking it which would make for the best novel (I've written a novel before). Whether or not I write any of it, it was still a fun experience.
It was neat to see what an LLM thought would make for the funniest story, most marketable, most likely to become a cult classic (haha). It also refused to process a bunch of them for being too spicy (haha).
It's a fun exercise if you don't hate AI 🤷
Personally, I don’t hate AI itself. What I hate is that it’s being forcibly shoved into everything without my consent. Using it for novel (pun intended) use cases like this is fine by me.
I use a checklist app for things I want/have to do with regularly reapeating tasks. For example, I'm writing a book and one of my weekly tasks is "work on your book". One of my biweekly is do a water change on the aquarium.
I very often miss deadlines, and have a list full of overdue tadks but when one of my hyper focus days occurs, I can make some real progress.
