You practically need a form of autism to study that long and I mean *actually* study, not be at the desk with your shit in front of you but still goofing off so you fool yourself.

I used to be able to study in high school and now I have no fucking clue how I managed it, I get distracted when I get distracted.

No but the few days every year when I manage to actually do it, it's basically a combination of a manic episode plus coffee overdose and undersleeping.
It's quite interesting actually, how society shits on bipolar as if it's something everyone should avoid and seek treatment for asap, yet the most productive days of my life are all thanks to it - the depressive episode clearing my desire of wasting time with games and other fun activities, flushing my willpower completely and emptying up a huge portion of my day for something else, followed by the manic episode filling the void up with as much productivity as physically possible. In fact I just finished reading this book http://gen.lib.rus.ec/book/index.php?md5=9710E0E82B4C51279145A6F834821E48 which is specifically around this topic and I also recommend you read it

Could you please elaborate on how you make use of the depressive part? Cuz it seemed to me useless and horrifying all along.

[Anonymous No.10607091]

>>10607075
Well there's not much to explain, I simply get depressed and do nothing, and that nothing includes breaking my internet addiction as well because I can't experience the joy of playing games or browsing 4chan even if I tried to. After my mind is clear from those addictions, the manic episode follows and fills up the free time.

I should note that while my mood follows the old pattern of depression->mania as it did when I was younger, the severity of the episodes is drastically reduced as I have most of it under control and the depressive episode is no longer "fuck this I'll probably kms in a week" while the mania no longer borders psychosis either. Getting my mind under control and monitoring every single thought occurring is probably the reason why I can derive productivity out of it as opposed to just letting the chemical imbalance run my life

Your problem is dopamine release addiction. Unplug yourself for a week and see the results

>15
>leaving less than 9 hours to sleep
You would be more efficient if you set aside 10-11 hours for sleep, 1 hour for exercise, and 1-2 hours to take care of yourself (shit, piss, cum, shower, brush teeth, cook a good healthy meal if you can't afford to buy one, and eat). If you really want to improve your time, here are some suggestions
>memorize the material and some difficult problems. Try to solve them as you are working out, shitting, eating, or whatever you are doing that doesn't allow you to have your materials in front of you.
>pay a whooore to come over for maybe 30 minutes before you go to sleep. Your inexperienced penis will cum right away and you'll sleep like a baby. Obviously don't keep her around for the full amount of time, unless you have the stamina to go that long. Only as much as you need.
>get a high powered blender like the vitamix. Blend all your meals so everything you eat is liquid and can be consumed very quickly. It will probably taste nasty, so consider burning your tongue and drink while plugging your nose, or maybe get that one food that makes all food taste different, I think it's called magic fruit.
>I know you're not spending all that time on just one area of subject. If you find you're not understanding a problem, do the next one. If you find you are not understanding anything, switch subjects.
>keep all distractions away from you
>If you ever have to go outside and a girl chats you up (from all the lifting you've been doing) intentionally act like a rude/obnoxious dweeb. Literally say to her "fuck me now or good bye." This will take care of any mesmerizing distractions that life might throw at you. If she actually says yes, do it and then leave and you don't have to pay for a whoooore tonight.
Maybe you now get 11 hours of study (this is more than a work day), but they are much more efficient, and you will feel better. Don't meditate, it's a waste of time.

Literally all you need to do (to begin with) is focus on the breath. Count how many times you breathe in and out and once you've realised that your mind has wandered then just bring your attention back to the breath. You don't really realise the benefits of meditation for at least one month (or at least that was the case for me) so don't quit after a week or two thinking that it's bullshit.
Start off 10 minutes a day, then move to 15, 20 etc. Currenly I do at least 1 hour every day. The most important thing is to be consistent and do it everyday. Starting off at 1 hour will only discourage you just like lifting extremely heavy weights on your first work out isn't ideal. You may want to listen to guided meditation (but they will only take you so far) or mediation music to help you concentrate to begin with.

koishi-poster you have good taste. any tips on lucid dreaming?

[Anonymous No.10609500]

>>10609468
>any tips on lucid dreaming
Step1. Just after awakening try to recall the dream so you won't forget the dreams.

Step2. Before sleep, pursue it as a goal. Do mantras, prayers, etc. Focus.

Step3. Try to become aware that you are dreaming inside the dream by noticing details such as:
Noticing that Physics is different from real world.
Such as you can jump high inside dreams, or you can fall from very high heights without getting hurt.

And you heal wounds extremely fast.
And you can use Magick spells.

Just like Anime.

[Anonymous No.10609512]

>>10609468
Step 4. Try to pursue Anime like superpowers Flying, Invisibility, Manipulating Flames, Summoning Weapons, Teleporting, Passing through Walls.

Summoning Weapons is the easiest superpower for me inside of dreams.
I can summon Weapons such as Knives, Semi-automatic Rifles, Swords, Machine guns, Sniper rifles out of thin air easily.

Flames creation is the 2nd easiest skill for me.
And I can manipulate flames direction & intensity.

I tried other elements: Electricity, Ice, Water, Rock... but Metal & Fire are easier to control for me.

I also can Teleport to far away countries.

I can Fly but it's challenging to control. I suck a bit on it.

Dragon ball like superpowers are hard to me. I'm physically weak inside dreams. So I can't punch or kick ass directly. I avoid direct combat & I keep distance.

Although I can climb a high place then jump and break the floor creating an impact wave just like Dragon ball.

[Anonymous No.10609521]

>>10609468
Step 5.
The Essential & most important skill is:

Reading inside Dreams.

Reading inside Dreams is a skill
that some people think
it's impossible to achieve.

Reading inside Dreams is
an essential key
to study inside Dreams

Otherwise the effort would be wasted

some of what
>>10609500
works but the common triggers for realizing you're dreaming are light switches do literally nothing and looking at your hands
you can also not react to any of the itches your body gets when you fall asleep (it does this to test if you're awake because sleeping you does not scratch) and staying incredibly still but still awake

[Anonymous No.10609545]

>>10609528
>light switches do literally nothing
In nightmares there are evil forces that turn them off.

When everything turn pitch black it means that you were surrounded by hostile monsters that hide in darkness.

Options:
(1) Run to bright place.
(2) Put fire around you.
(3) Persuade/pacify the enemy.

(4) Turn the light on:
how? raise our hands and push energy from you towards the lamp so you become the electrical energy source.

When you do that the location of enemy is revealed. So you can strike back.

And if you are completely surrounded you can Teleport away or just awake.

And try to finish the demons off inside the dream & win the fight whenever as possible.

When I'm surrounded in close quarters. I can't punch.
But I still can summon a shotgun or blades (knives & swords)
