Back to club after a loooooong time. Since the day I got my GMAT score I have not even visited the site. Not only that, but I also did not gather any information on the B-Schools I am planning to apply. I just don't feel like doing anything.... While preparing for GMAT, I was highly motivated and prepared. But I am completely lacking that motivation now... Does anybody else feel like that here? What should I do to get back in business?

I felt that way afterward and I took quite a few months off. Most people don't kick in into high gear until they realize the deadline is ~2 months out. Regardless of which round you're applying, I'd day start combing your target schools' websites at a leisurely pace over the next two months. I put together a sort of FAQ sheet for me - highlighted things about the program I was attracted to, classes, clubs, alumni, the "theme" of the school (finding the common theme in their language). I also did an inventory of myself - examples of leadership, challenges, over coming obstancles, strengths, weaknesses, academic achievements, community achievements, etc. so that I would have thos ecxmplaes on hand once I started writing.
In June/July the essays should come out as well as deadlines, I added those and recommendation questions (if available) to my FAQ sheet. You can also start framing your answers to the essays, it will change about 3-4 times by the time you get a finished product, but it helps to start thinking them through. If you're applying round one, I say use the summer to reach out to current students or those who just graduated, also make a schedule of when you plan to visit the schools and stick to it. I found that this process goes a lot smoother if you create a timeline for yourself.
In all, enjoy chillin for the next 2-3 months, you deserve a break after the GMAT, but try to get the grunt work done. The critical mass that is your job, school visits, local information sessions, networking, essays, and life in general will hit you in Aug-Oct (R1) in no time, if you're R2, I still say get the leg work done so that you can focus on talking to people in the fall.
Now that I'm on the other side, an admit, I'm struggling to find the motivation to apply to scholarships...the motivation issue never goes away

I didn't have that problem. I wrote my GMAT in September. So the turn around time I had was very less.
But on my off days, I'd go through the really old threads in here. There is a ton of interesting info on this site that would make you laugh, make you cry and most importantly teach you at the same time.
I'd also watch a lot of my target schools' clips on youtube. I'd get a kick out of watching Chicago booth random walk clips.
