You might want to consider seeing a psychologist and be evaluated for possible ADD. Your situation sounds exactly like what I was like in high school, and a prescription for ritalin or another medication might help when you need to study.
If you don't want to go the medicinal route, get yourself an egg timer, and give youreself 10-minute study blocks, separated by 5-minute breaks. After a week, move up to 15-minute blocks, still with 5-minute breaks. The next week, go up to 20. If you can't manage the next step, spend another week at the level you're at, then try again. Every hour and a half, take a 20-minute break.
Work on self-discipline, and you can probably do it, but even if you don't want medication, see if a psychologist can offer some tips on how to focus better, since you most likely do have ADD.
