Staying motivated after receiving PE offer

As the title says, I’m getting close to wrapping up my 2 year analyst program, with a PE offer in hand, and struggling to stay motivated or even care about my work. Anyone have experience with this or suggestions of how to stay motivated, still need to hang around for a few more months?
