Struggling to keep up with daily salah even though my faith is strong

Assalamualaikum, everyone. I’m 100% certain about my belief in Allah, no doubts there. I even had the chance to take my mother and grandmother on Umrah last September. I steer clear of what’s haram-no drinking, no improper relationships-yet I can’t seem to find the motivation to pray each day. It’s not that I dislike praying, but the desire just isn’t there anymore. When the adhan notification pops up, I ignore it without even feeling guilty, though I used to. Before, I’d at least make wudu at Isha time and think, 'Might as well pray now,' but these days, I don’t even do that. I still fast every Ramadan for the past few years and manage all my prayers then. It’s just the daily routine where I feel empty-no urge, no guilt, nothing. With exams and big goals ahead, I know I need Allah’s help to succeed, but I can’t kickstart that connection. Has anyone else been through this? Any advice would really help. JazakAllah khair.

Set a timer for just one salah. Just one. Don't think about the other four. Show up for that one prayer consistently. InshaAllah the rest will follow.
