Pushing yourself past procrastination and the hard work mental wall is a skill that you need through all of your life, in many areas. These finals are good practice for the rest of your life. Of course the EE part for doing actual domain related work, but pushing through giving up is essential for pretty much every important thing in the rest of your life.
Break it down into smaller parts, i.e. you have finals to prepare for, you must have a syllabus to ensure you know as much of it as you can, and you know how much time you have until each exam. You know you need to sleep and eat and whatever else is unavoidable in your personal life. Block out the rest of your time into a schedule and stick to it. If you happen to slip up on that schedule, don't panic or give up. Just adjust it, i.e. at this point it might mean tactically jettison revising/practicing bits that will turn up in your exam/s.
