I like being distracted from things I don't want to do. This liking led to too many all-nighters in college when the absolute deadline reared its ugly head. While I think you should be wary of taking advice from someone who never follows their own advice, I still have to offer this up: See if your school has a tutoring program. Most schools do, and the tutoring is free for the students but the tutors usually get paid, so they will stick to studying and will keep you studying. Studying with a friend can work if that friend is willing to keep you on track and you are willing to put up with them keeping you on track, but a lot of times, studying with a friend ends up being a social session. The other advantage with tutors is that to be a tutor they must carry a certain grade average in the subject they are tutoring. This could help you with German.

Now, for some advice I do follow. When I'm faced with doing something I don't want to do, I usually work on it in smaller time spans and I find some way of rewarding myself when I get something done. For example, if I have to get a boring written report done, I'll decide to work on it for 30 minutes and then give myself a 10 minute break to play a computer game before I go back to work on it again. And when I finish it, I treat myself to something, like a new book, or CD or an hour long bubble bath (hey, to me that's a nice reward!) Of course, you have to still have a certain amount of self-discipline to stick with this.
