How can some people just sit down and actually put time into studying a topic? I have several different interests which none of them i consider myself to be skilled nor knowledgeble at. I just envy those who can set their minds onto something and then pursue it for an extended period of time, end up achieving their goals. >Inb4 you have adhd - i have it but i believe this is more of a habit/mindset problem so i hereby ask lit anons who seem to fit the archetype of those intellectually determined, to tell me their secrets

I felt that understanding how party organisations betrayed workers could prove useful to creating workers' organisations incapable of betrayal. I demonstratively proved that my feeling was wrong, and that all workers' organisations will betray workers, the question is when, with what gains, at what costs.

To do this I read double history, honours in history, and a doctorate in history on very small scale organisational behaviours in a very geographically and time limited period in 4 sub-industrial groupings.

The problem you're facing is the typical pitfall of most people with ADHD (or are just scatterbrained thanks to modern tech). The constant pursuit of novelty is what does them in. They can't bring themselves to practice for more than a few days on the keyboard they just bought, or with the brush kit, etc. The reason for this is that their minds prefer novelty over excellence.
Many people like this find that they change hobbies or interests almost as often as they change clothes. Once they enounter the first hint of difficulty on their path to becoming the next beethoven or picasso, they jump to the next thing they see on youtube or whatever constant stream of info they're plugged into.
Reducing the amount of media you consume should be your first priority for avoiding this trap.
Even though I am by no means excellent at anything, my suggestion to you would be that you focus on just one (1) thing you want to study in depth. Set up a schedule for when you plan to do the thing and strictly adhere to it. Also, experiment what works best for your learning environment and try to build an SOP so that your time doing the activity will be optimally spent.
Hope this helps, anon. Good luck.
