How do I develop better study habits?

[Anonymous No.4762543]

Form a routine, it's just like working out, make it part of your daily routine (or every other day, w/e). Or reward yourself for doing it, while limiting things you like for not.

Depends what works for you.

What works best for me study-wise is a study group, have others involved motivates me. Having other people relying on me knowing more, or being competitive to know more motivates me.

[Anonymous No.4762544]

it's habitual with a splash of genetic predisposition; some people are just naturally predisposed to good habits while others are predisposed to sitting in their underwear in a dirty room.

well i dont post pics of myself, so as to my weight class or physical looks, you have no fucking idea. you can guess, and of course you'll guess it to be negative just to spite me, but thats just as expected, because you dont like me, not because yo actually believe it's true

and for the last one, i dont usually talk about myself, and i dont blab on about how happy or unhappy im feeling at the moment, because nobody on /sci/ will give a shit, so you have no factual basis for that either.

you see, insults dont really work when ive already pegged you as a complete fucking asshole, so its about as offensive as if a googled some sort of 'random insult generator' and just read down the list.

I always thought I act against my better judgement because my subconscious wants to do stuff that makes me feel good whilst conscious wants something else that gives no direct obvious benefit (well yeah it tends to give a benefit but my subconscious won't see it that way). So instead of studying I masturbate and browse 4chan for dat dere dopamine.

For math and science classes, all you basically have to do is do your homework and make sure you understand it. Then all you need is maybe an hour or two to lightly review material before an exam. Works for me.

I'm pretty sure the striatum is inhibitory on pretty much everything in the basal ganglia, including the nucleus accumbens. The pfc only sends gaba-nergic projections into it so whatever direct control he has over his choices are inhibitory not excitatory...

Since it's my brain, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who could be making the choice. HOOOOWEVER, it's not necessarily conscious until it becomes conscious. It seems that there is a great deal that goes into our decision making that isn't under our conscious control.

I am well aware of the study.

The study; just like you, are ignoring that there is no difference between conscious and subconscious, they are both you.


Get rid of using the word consciousness altogether and all that experiment says is that you flicked your wrist and then .5 seconds later thought about what you just did.

Great. So, for our first date how about some dinner? I was thinking we could base jump to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, while we're falling I would whip out a box of camping matches and cook you a can of Progresso Chicken Noodle soup and we could discuss the difference between jam and jelly. If we really hit it off then you can eat it from my mouth when we get to the bottom. But I'll bring a bowl just in case.

Notice...

>Since it's my brain, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who could be making the choice.

I took philosophy 201; I assure you I understand what free will means.

Also, conscious and subconscious certainly are relevant terms considering there is a pretty big difference between the subjective experience of what its like to have a brain and what it's actually doing. Noone is consciously aware of how visual stimuli are deconstructed nor do they have to choose to reassemble those stimuli into a complete picture. We just see things the way they are, consciously. We know this happens only because people have stroked those areas of the brain.

The vast majority of what the brain does happens without our knowledge. Seems like a way to separate those processes would be pretty useful actually.

[Anonymous No.4762977]

>>4762953
I understand that you can tell that we are making the choices.

But you still make the distinction for that study. Which implies that subconscious thought overrides conscious and you somehow aren't in control.

Yes subconsciousness does a very good job of not cluttering our conscious thought, but no matter what the subconscious does it is still us.

We might not be aware of the details of deconstructing and reconstructing visual stimuli, but that is only because the sensory organs we use don't allow for those observations.

I am just stating that no matter what we do consciously or subconsciously it is still us doing it and there is nothing behind the scenes fucking with our free will.

[Anonymous No.4763012]

>>4762977

>it is still us doing it

Well, if you're talking about like a soul then...oh, sorry, I miss understood. All of our decisions come from and only from, our brains and we are completely responsible for whatever decisions we choose to make. Souls aside...

>there is nothing behind the scenes fucking with our free will.

...there is! We make decisions based on what our brains deem important, namely food, sexyteim etc. We only choose to do the things we do because our biology has discriminated certain choices to be more valuable than others. The basal ganglia does fuck with our free will by inhibiting and modulating what stimuli are entering the cortex to be processed. We don't do that selecting, hence, a person can't choose to do something like study when it is of low biological importance; they won't even know it's an option. That's why people make poor decisions all the time, the information/stimuli aren't being supplied to the pfc to be rationally analyzed.

[Anonymous No.4763026]

>>4763012
When I say it is us doing it, I am referring to the brain, not a soul or the mind.

>there is.

Now I think you are losing the point, the brain is still us.
There's a good saying.
"We are our own worst enemy."

Not wanting to study because we'd rather have sex or food isn't some evolutionary biological function out to steal our free will, those functions make us who we are and as such it is just us doing what we want.
