Focus: how does /sci/ do it?

[Anonymous No.8519292]

I have a mountain of mathematics, physics; chemistry, computer science and security books to study, annotate and revise in six months.

Recently however I have noticed an endless sea of brain-fog twinned with a lack of motivation.

I'm trying hard to stay on track: trying to get enough sleep, trying to go for a morning and afternoon walk; trying to improve my diet and none of it is going very well.

So, my question is, how does /sci/ maintain their focus and motivation?

Yes. Masturbating before sleeping actually release your frustrations, spend energy and can help you have a better sleep.

It's mostly willpower and removing temptations. Study alone, compare problems with friends.

Thank you, anon. I did suspect NoFap was a bunch of shit.

What is good however is noPorn. Try fapping to your imagination, without a screen.

For sports, you should walk/bike to your university, that's a fairly good way to do minimum exercise.

So, try and tailor it into my day as an 'inevitable'?

noPorn really is much better than noFap. People who don't watch porn almost always do better in bed than people who do watch porn.

Stop browsing /sci/, this place is toxic compared to StackExchange, good IRC channel or even reddit

So, porn is the issue, rather than the masturbation?

Doesn't that make it rather sterile?
