I've found I study really well when I shouldn't really be studying. For instance, I was just in the woods for a week and even though I should've been out kayaking on the lake or swimming or at least walking down the gravel road running past our cabin, I woke up quite a few mornings and just wrote kanji for a while.
I did the same thing when I first arrived in Paris, only with Russian. We were in our hotel rooms prior to arranging actual accommodations for the 5 month study abroad and everyone was like, "Why are you studying?"
I guess I must have some elitist streak that makes me feel good about myself if no one else in their right mind would be studying ;p that and I just really like to study...
The other thing, is that in the woods I had no Internet or videogames to distract me. It comes down to what hobbies you like vs. what you find important vs. what is available and the overlaps thereof.
