How did you develop good study habits in college? How did you focus on studying for classes with irrelevant material?

In my last two semesters of college and pursuing a BBA in Computer Information Systems. Planning on getting into CRE finance when I graduate, but too late to switch to Finance without a huge financial/time burden so decided to stick with it.

I've always been decent at studying but after realizing coding and IT wasn't for me, all the classes I'm taking are so much harder to study for. I especially struggle with coding classes. I'm literally never going to use this material in any career path I'm interested in.

How did yall manage to develop good study habits, especially for classes you're not interested in?
