Adderall

Would it be a bad idea to ask my weed dealer for adderal?

>>9239655
I use this to study

>>9239606

1. pick something I genuinely want to read
That means reading not for meme value or because it's a famous book that "just has to be read."

2. Go someplace quiet and peaceful to read, such as a park or a library.
And don't bring your phone if you're just going to browse the internet with it.

>>9239606
you keep reading until you develop the habit

why the fuck do you think you'll magically be able to sit and read 1000000 pages for hour for 90 hours straight if you're not able to read 10 pages without getting bored?

Same way I stop myself from cumming

>>9239678
How... how do you do that?

>>9239676
I have a hard time believing that doing X a lot will make someone less bored by X.

Of course, I haven't been able to commit myself to anything like that, because I seem to be unable to push past the boredom. So who am I to say?

>>9239698
I think what anon meant was that OP should read more so he can develop the habit of reading for a prolong period of time

>>9239698
if you keep looking for pleasure alone on literature you'll get nowhere
if you want pleasure, go play video-games or watch anime, or read shitty books if you feel like reading is important or some shit... and leave literature for us

>commit myelf to read 15 pages straight today
>typically read a few, digest, break a few minutes, repeat
>up to 10th page
>fall asleep
>midday, not even tired

Even when I manage to have the attention span, I fall asleep. I wish I could read for 3 hours straight like when I was a kid.

>>9239662
Yes. I think changes you, and leaves you empty afterward. Stick to caffeine. Maybe nicotine if you vape, but Im not familiar enough with it to actually recommend it.

>>9239698
Not quite just reading, the capacity to do general stuff for hours happens by trying enough. But that depends a lot on the person and most people are too tv age to handle it.

>>9239685
i wish i could tell you. i was baiting for an answer myself

>>9239721
But he'll probably have some and won't be mad at me for asking right?

>>9240064
Why the fuck would he be mad at you for asking? Holy shit lad.

>>9240068
Try asking your dealer for crack and see if he's happy

>>9240080
It's like you want me to think you're retarded.

>>9240085
wtf asking for other drugs is the quickest way to get your dealer to drop you
Look it up

>>9239719
I'm in the same boat
starting to wonder whether a decade of jacking off on 4chan has killed my attention span

>>9240093
Adderall is the next closest thing to weed little faggots like you ask for.

>taking your drug-taking degeneracy this seriously

Fuck off. This board is for civilized folk.

>>9240106
What's the closest?

>>9240104
It has. Read "The Shallows"

>>9240118
fuck off, berry faggot

>>9240109
I'm doing exactly the opposite, you fucking mong.

>>9239719
A shitty sleep schedule can do that to you. My attention span got way better when I started sleeping 7+ hours every day.

By edging you stop yourself from finishing a chapter or a section when it gets interesting take a break 3 min then do it agajn.

White noise.

Bose QuietComfort 35 and the Noisil app will completely shut out the outside world. Then I only need to sit somewhere quiet with decent lightning etc.

Other than that the answer is to find someplace without distractions, and to turn off your phone.

>>9240197
You really wait three minutes?

>>9240197
I know this post probably isn't serious, but I find that taking breaks completely kills whatever interest I had in reading whatever I'm reading. Truth is that shit gets boring after a while, no matter how interesting it seems.

Permanent or temporary change? How so?
