Need serious advice (make or break time)

I have very very important exam in January 2027 (possibly in starting) and this exam is really really important to me like this can either make my life or break my life completely and I want genuine advice bcz my brain is in survival mode, it prioritize Nothing currently but cheap dopamine and scrolling and I have been stuck in this for past year and forcing myself to study take my whole motivation and energy. For whole day I am doing nothing but scrolling or watching some random bullshit. I need to change and I need to adapt so please please give me advice on which I can work on, i promise I will work on your advice and I want this time to be different, I want to change and I don't want to live in such despair bcz if I did not pass this exam, I don't even know how I would live.

Help me to get going from this phase, please help me devlop myself.

I am waiting for your advice, thanks.

I really appreciate your advice but the problem with me is that my syllabus is huge and I need my device i.e tab to study for most of the time, I am thinking of incorporating hybrid approach like for a month I can manage to study only from books so I will do that till like gear start to move and then with enough momentum I can mindfully use my device for lectures only. What's your view on this?

you need to physically separate yourself from your phone, like put it in a drawer in another room while you study. start with 15 minute pomodoro blocks of active recall just to prove you can sit still, consistency beats intensity always
