Is there any way to make studying your life where you wakeup, eat, study, sleep without adderall?

I sat at the library for 4 hours and gave up and went home and played league of legends to reward myself

>>studying 4 hours straight

read about deliberate practice op, you will get the same results and with plenty of time to sleep/workout/whatever makes you happy

reprogram yourself to enjoy flipping through pages

>deliberate practice
read the wiki snippet about it
basically perfect practice makes perfect versus ""practice"" makes perfect where practice in this sense is halfassing it?

An hour of good studying will be way more beneficial than 4 hours of shitty studying.

I like to break it up; once I cover one fundamental concept or idea, I like to stop, (usually) take a walk and ponder it in my head before going on to something else. It may not work for everyone, but I find walks to be extremely effective at helping me grasp concepts, or better understand things and how they work together.

So tl;dr, take lots of walks

This is what I want. I am willing to use any drugs and I can get any drugs. Amphetamines are neurotoxic though, so I'll be dumb by the time I'm 35 if I live like this.

What do I do?

If I take Ephedrine and Caffeine every 4 hours, can this be achieved? And can this be sustained?

It's pretty easy if you're actually interested in what you are studying.

If you aren't, why the fuck are you studying it?

There's a few subjects I'm stuck with that I don't especially care for. If I only studied what I'm interested in, I'd probably have about 10 part-finished degrees, with only two of those degrees remotely useful as a qualification.

I find it difficult to focus on tasks when I'm not 'absorbed' into it or a little bit sleep deprived.

sounds like maths isn't for you.

>> No.5496162

what did you do for those 4 hours? for me usually when i free myself of all other distractions I get 'in the zone' once i force myself into it and then its hard to get out and stop studying.

so i just like go to the library with nothing but my books and notes and then do it.

don't waste your time on the few subjects that you don't find interesting. the time is far far better spent excelling at the ones that do interest you.

I love studying, although I procrasinate psets

Most of them are core and/or prerequisite subjects. IE: I can't get my degree without doing them.

>> No.5496176

>>5496174
you're probably doing the wrong degree if you only enjoy the electives.
