The answer

Activity and lethargy in worship are natural, as the human soul experiences periods of receptiveness and turning away. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified that every deed has a "shirra" (activity) and every shirra has a "fatra" (weakness). So, whoever's fatra is in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet has succeeded. One must maintain a balance between excess and negligence. Among the most important things that help in continuing memorization and seeking knowledge are: associating with righteous people and reading the biographies of scholars known for their diligence in seeking knowledge. One can also listen to the Qur'an recited by proficient reciters and enroll in reliable religious schools.
