You must have disaprin young grass hopper!!
Seriously, if you dont go through it now, you'll find your self going through it anyway studying for your PPL written. As much as the flying is the more interesting and enjoyable part about your flight training, a solid foundation is important. Ground school teaches you how to recognise a potential problem and gives you the understanding of how to fix it. Also, as already mentioned, your PPL written is almost entirely based on the PSTAR and FTGU or groundschool information, so you'll have to learn it anyway.
Anything worth getting, isnt easy
Good luck,

Its possible that an online course won't work for you, everyone has their own method of studying. Have you tried getting into a formal in classroom ground school? Are you doing flight lessons at the same time? Or are you doing the ground school first?

Self discipline is forcing yourself to do things you don't want to do. You say you are lacking the discipline to finish it. What a great opportunity to set some goals.
Try different strategies such as chunking. Create a weekly study plan for yourself where you will watch and review x number of online ground school videos a week. Focus on those videos for that week. Forget about the rest. You might not even need to watch all the videos, you can pick up the knowledge and concepts in books.
You paid money for this shit. Don't waste it.
