My attention span has gone to utter shit and I'm too addicted to easy sources of pleasure to spend the time I want to studying and learning. How tf do I fix myself, scientifically.

If you need to ask, you'll never make it.
If you won't do the hard work then fuck off.

Fuck off incel, and take your incel meme with you.

>> No.10196257

similar problem to OP, but I'm more concerned with not being able to focus on one thing for more than a bingey couple of hours. Then I get bored and never touch it again. I've switched career paths countless times and always get sidetracked by something else I find cool and interesting. I feel like I'm struggling to find the thing that will give me satisfaction, and while I try all these things I'm falling behind everyone else

Go find some self help books for increasing attention span and discipline.

I'd do it for you but don't want to rob you of the valuable lesson of doing it yourself.

It begins with changing your inner monologue. You need to be harsh with yourself.
>I can't believe I spent day fucking off, how disgusting
>I can't believe I ate all that, how disgusting
Don't let things slide and if you do. Feel bad about it. It'll take time and be not fun at all.

That's really all there is too it. I started "being disciplined" a while ago and it's really fucking shitty at first but you feel so much better at the end of the day that it's worth it.

Have an interest and motivation for what you do.

>>10196217
I can’t personally vouch for this, however in the next few days after some important social events I am going to try it myself. It’s definately very radical but it might just be what gets me out of my rut. Oh also there are some studies mentioned, so there you go OP.

Well, being so counterproductive due to depressing (studied 2-3 hours per day, every weekday for months, nothing stuck) that i was risking getting thrown out on the streets and then become so suicidal that I asked for help only to be thrown into a mental institute for a month did the trick for me!

There's truly no better motivation than desperation for your life. Paint yourself into a corner myman, learn that life is really about surviving, not living.
