I´m studying Econ at a semi-target in my country, and the work-load+exams is/are killing me, and I´m not even getting great grades in most courses. How do students that study harder subjects (STEM etc) do it, and how do you guys get to have great GPA´s? Do you have any tips?

Especially for things like econ don’t memorize anything. Try to think of why everything works the way it does and reason thru it. That way you can reason through exam questions.
this is exactly what I do as an econ major. There are parts where memorization works, but a lot is just conceptual and reasoning through is a great way to learn.
As an engineering student, it’s not about motivation, it’s discipline. I ducking hate engineering and I’m probably bottom bucket engineering major intelligence, but I have a 3.7 gpa cause i hate when people work harder than me. Not that difficult to NOT be lazy, and grind for a few years to live out your dreams. Also get into lifting, If you lift for at least an hour 6x a week school gets much easier/less stressful. Hope this helps
Completely agree. My senior year of HS and first month or two of college I lifted less than usual because I was fearful of it taking away from school/internship hunt/social life. Decided to make lifting a daily priority and it actually helped bring structure to my day so then I would actually focus on schoolwork more as I already had my workout for the day and told myself it was now time to grind.
