Studying is hard. Just gotta keep at it.

You can do some things to keep yourself from losing focus, like getting proper sleep, eating right, exercising. Also, it doesn't hurt to take breaks.

Apart from that, just be sure you want to be doing what you're doing, keep focused on your goal, and work at it. Sorry I don't have any other advice.

What I study is a big mess, I tried to make a ''program'' like months ago that I would try to follow of the things I deeply felt I wanted to learn and master.

I study some electronics / electricity, calculus, programming and a language.

Its the first time ever I've tried to do this type of stuff since all my life I've been the ADHD guy that plays videogames all day so its very hard since although I don't feel any pleasure from videogames or stuff like that, actually, I don't feel any pleasure for anything no more, but since I have time and nothing else in my life I figured that maybe studying would get me somewhere.

The fact that I fail to do it frustrates me and makes me feel anxious all the time, since its basically all I have and do nothing else.

>>8439653
I wish I could tell you. Same happens to me. I'm going to guess the culprit is my shitty diet and my fluctuating sleeping habits.

Pomodoro has been helpful for the occasions when I have to force myself to study something I find extremely uninteresting. It's total pseudoscience, though.

>>8439684
Cocaine in moderate doses

>>8439716
Do you have some sort of schedule that you follow? One source of this sort of anxiety and distraction can be that you don't have your goals clear in your mind.

Also, your ability to focus should get better with consistency. Sit down and study every single day. Don't get discouraged by your failures.

>>8439716
fuck, are you me?

>>8439716
Geez, are you me? I have bad habits like this that I still can't kick, even though I know they hold me back and I don't really even enjoy them. I think I actually suffer from addiction of some kind. Not sure if that applies to you though.

Regardless of how I'm fucking up I managed to find something I really wanted to do, and between moments where I'm a shitlord I try hard at school and I seem to be getting somewhere. But I definitely get anxious about it. If I weren't doing well in my classes, I would probably lose my mind because I've run out of other things to care about.

I think regardless of how you might feel shitty about the whole ordeal, that you actually feel frustration shows you care, and I think that's good. I figure if you can identify what you care about, and if you can make babysteps in getting yourself closer to your goal, you're probably on a good track and who knows, you might actually be happy if you try to do something with it. At least, that's what I've been selling myself.

>>8439653
I was the same way, but then I started a research project with one of my professors. Now that I'm learning about things that I'm actually using/applying, as well as having deliverables that I have to meet in order to demonstrate I'm actually learning, its a lot easier so just sit down and read for a few hours. It's like, I can read something and consider if it may explain why I'm seeing a particular result from an experiment, or something along those lines. I just feel a lot more invested in my learning as opposed to just going to classes

>>8439819
Oh, and don't stress too much about not feeling smart. As long as you have the motivation to keep showing up and figuring out whats going on, you'll be ok

Eat a healthier diet with Omega 3s and exercise frequently.

>>8439653
I have the same problem, OP.
I find that it gets easier once the habit of problem-solving is more established.

Other things, the afterglow of meditation really helps to center my attention and its way easier to "get going" and getting "in the learning zone", amphetamine is a great tool in the moment but will render you a brainlet for days once the high diminishes.

coffee fucking sucks compared to green tea.
Its powerfull and good for mindless grinding, not problemsolving (in my brain that is).
I find that it leaves me way too jittery and delirious but im naturally a high-strung person.

>>8439747
Not him but might aswell be. I definetly notice this helping. Setting clear but managable, almost easy goals does make it way easier to train a habit.

The biggest problem ive had with establishing new habits is actually going in too strong in the begining and expecting my emotional optimism to last beyond the "honeymoon-phase".

I believe cognitive science supports this perspective.

>>8439653
you need to reorganise your life so that you get to sleep more. /thread

inb4 "i'm not tired though"

that's what i mean, you dipstick. reorganize your life so you get tired. you aren't working hard enough.

>>8439653
Same thing for me, I feel like I'm living in a haze but it wears off when I start working or talk about work with other people, because I love my subject. You have to get invested in whatever you are studying and try to enjoy the process of working through problems. After a while, it will just feel like the best use of your time.
If you really can't focus, try to find someone to work with (or at least discuss what you've understood or failed to understand)

Step one

Get off 4chan

>>8439653
the only things that matter are goals. i get the feeling the people in this thread who feel this way have no applications or outlets for their "study", so what's the point? so you can feel brag about your maths skills on a rhodesian thimblerigger enthusiasts forum? how can you expect to accomplish anything without a reason?

and don't make a simple goal that keeps you motivated for half a minute; motivation is shallow. you need goals that make you determined.

>amphetamine is a great tool in the moment but will render you a brainlet for days once the high diminishes

OP, don't bum drugs off of people and take them for a high.

If you think you may have ADHD, get tested and talk to your doctor about medication. Plenty of studies show the positive effects of stimulants like adderall. Some studies suggest that long-term use of these stimulants improve brain function overall, even when you don't have the drug in your system. There are also non-stimulant options.

>>8439653
Stop masturbating so much.
Limit yourself to once every 3 days.

Avoid social media, including 4chan.

Start jogging.

Get a good sleep schedule

We'll there's been a lot of answers, I went to bed last night and couldn't respond / thank you guys for your answers which I suppose must also help those who are in a similar situation as me.

I will try to eat more greens, cut back on the 4chans / masturbation and try to do some exercise, hopefully that will get me out of this lethargic loop.

>>8441235

Eh, I really don't know much about drugs. And I don't think I have ADHD, well, I guess I am just really autistic and get distracted easily due to years of years of constantly pleasing myself and always seeking the easy path.

See? Thats the problem and I am so glad of being able to word it out. Around 10+ years of videogames, masturbation, lack of goals and proper work has left me this way, which makes things overly complicated as I am trying to go from never actually putting my mind to work for long periods of time to actually do it everyday.

You just gotta do it more. What you do is eventually what you become, so just keep trying to be sharp and you will be sharp. Also define sharp.

>ITT little princess thinks hes special
everyone is like this dumbass I have an exam in 4 days and im here watching chinese cartoons

>>8439718
>pick one

Same happens to me, I am really interested in what I study, yet the moment I pick up the book, my brain starts wandering. I find myself lost in some passing thought for 10 minutes. Even worse, sometimes I grab the book and just forget about it and end up doing something else for an hour before I remember. Other times I have to re-read something 10 times before it actually registers, or a super-simple thing just won't get into my head.

Then sometimes, I have good clarity, things are obvious, and everything goes well. Even better, sometimes I have a few seconds of utter clarity and it feels like I'm working at 50x speed. It feels awful because I can't understand why my brain just won't work properly 99.9% of the time.

It's definitely down to willpower, at least in part. One thing I found after lazying off two years of uni is that your subconscious learns a lot. Mine understood that not studying meant no exam stress (already knew I'd fail anyway) and it was just easier that way. My diet is fine, so is my sleep (in fact I'd almost say it's utopian), exercise could be better but not terrible.


I guess in the end it's really down to wanting it. Pick up that book and force yourself, with exercise your brain will wake the fuck up over time, it's not really surprising that you feel lethargic if you don't exercise your brain (and body). Almost everyone has this problem to some extent.

you're the guy who thinks he can learn anatomy, physics and higher level mathematics in 3 months because you have limited internet during the winter months

>>8439653
Get enough sleep.

Don't study in bed or other places you associate with either sleep or leisure because your brain will get in the wrong "mode" - either sleepy or focused on playing.

Don't study with distractions nearby - remove Everything related to entertainment and social media from your perception while studying.

Eat healthy food. Drink enough water.

Okay. I've got a question for all you neuroscientists and psychiatrists out there

What are the possible causes of the following:

>wake up one day, realize I have no emotions
>I used to be a super happy person, very kind and outgoing, sappy scenes made me cry
>now nothing. I tried to imagine my family dying in a car accident, and I felt nothing
>I was deeply in love with a wonderful girl before this; I woke up one day and suddenly felt nothing towards her
>I used to be deeply motivated and have a ton of goals and dreams. Now, If I failed college today, it wouldn't bother me
>Can't feel any emotions any more. Not happy, not sad, not angry. Nothing.
>If a tree fell on my car today, it wouldn't bother me like it would have before this started
>used to be super horny all the time; now have zero libido. I can still orgasm, but I don't have any sex drive, nor do I feel much of any sexual attraction towards anyone.

It has been going on for about a week and a half now. I am very concerned. Before you say "see a doctor", I already have an appointment scheduled. I just want to know possible explanations for it. Everyone in my family, and even my coworkers have noticed that something is different about me. I am just not myself anymore.

What do you know of that could cause this?

I think I'm going to make a thread out of this.

if this is a recent thing it could be attributable to anything from a change in diet or sleep to increased stress or lack of desire or even seasonal depression

if it's been like this your whole life you probably have add and should go see a doctor

Exercise. I always study best after a workout, go in the gym for 1 hour (I do powerlifting), it really "wakes you up", then I come back home make some tea and can study much better. Don't have to go to the gym, you can just go run or whatever you like. I remember my biology teacher giving this advice, so there's probably some science behind it

Also get enough sleep

Oh and stick to it. It's hard to actually get going studying, but once you do it for like 15 min without distraction then you're pretty much "into the zone" and can go on for hours.

drink around two liters of water. your iq drops by 10%, when you are thirsty and you feel tired.

go outside every day. your brain learns better when you are walking and sunlight wakes you up and your body produces vitamin d.

do not eat or drink products with additional sugar in it. you feel sleepy, when you eat to much sugar (more than 25g per day).

eat balanced... porridge, fruits, vegetables, meat. do not to overeat when you want to learn or work.

find out what motivates you. i like to check todo-list.

Whichever is the case why they are failing to do what they want to do, I was wondering if it would be viable to form a study group.

On the creation of this group, aimed to the likes of us, perhaps we could support each other in our paths? even if the disciplines are different, having people to rely onto wouldn't hurt, right?

This thread has loads of replies but what I've found (and I'm doing about 50 hours a week so absentmindedness when studying is something I actively avoid)

1) enough sleep, 7 hours is enough for me, 6 minimum, if I have less sleep than this I will be very unproductive
2) Change enviroment every few hours, change the album you're listening to (try and stick to instrumental if you find yourself listening to the lyrics but its not an issue for me) and move seats in the library
3) Pomodoro, work for 25 minutes, then do something else, ideally walk around a bit or something but otherwise just stretch out and take a few minutes
4) Eat, seriously, if you are finding you are not paying attention eat something, not chocolate, something like an apple or banana, or even better, chocolate AND an apple

I also make every second break (so once an hour) 10 minutes, this is usually when I go get an apple or something, you can also use this time to smoke if you smoke, whatever, just get up and decompress once an hour for 10 minutes

Very rarely, when the stars align just right I feel well rested and my mind is clear. Concentrating and studying feels effortless. There are no physical sensations distracting me from studying. There is no urgent desire to stop studying. No thought comes up that does not have to do with the study topic. This only lasts for an hour at most but I imagine this is how normal people feel.

If only I could somehow feel like that every day.

Haven't read the rest of the replies so some of this may have already been covered.

I have been through the same thing. What happens is you get addicted/used to a short term gratification kind of pleasure. Vidya is specifically engineered for this. So what happens is you start to feel deep down that this short term happiness isn't going to make you happy in the long term.

So you start studying and working towards something that is long term gratification based. But you're used to the immediate pleasure and therefore you have this instinct to GTFO as soon as you start working on something but don't feel any gratification. But trust this system, anon. As you start pushing more and more, longer and longer, you start to feel pleasure again at the small things, that new data structure you mastered, figuring out why some small thing works at a low level. This keeps you going and you NEED to build momentum. This is huge. DON'T STOP NOW. Do more each day, keep winning those small battles, and you'll end up winning wars. And when you do, it was all worth it. The sense of accomplishment, self worth, etc is orders of magnitude greater than any short term happiness you're used too from video games or whatever other thing you've been addicted to in the past. It's worth it anon. Keep working, you'll slowly get sharper and sharper, and happier and happier. Your brain is transitioning. It's hard and disheartening. Keep pushing forward. Start reading motivational books. I know that sounds corny, but start to surround yourself with positivity and excitement. You'll get there.

The problem is too much information. You need to give your mind time to work as there is only so much new information you can commit to memory. Take it easy for a day or two and then try a cram/reading session. You may be pleasantly surprised at the results.

1. Sleep habits and quality

2. Dietary habits and quality

3. Remove distractions. As much as possible that could remove your focus and concentration. Have fixed well defined times for anything social. Log out of everything when you should study. A single Facebook bleep can slow down many minutes of studies.

4. Get into the right "mood" or mindset. This can help if you are in a place dedicated for learning or have music that gets you in the mood. For some people this can be a special place in their home or maybe the library.

Lots of ADD hysteria these days. It could simply be you're a social media / entertainment junkie.

But that is not a good answer as it does not make you buy stuff but rather stay away from buying stuff. So there's no money in it for the ADD drug (or other) shills to tell you about it.

>>8449379
Not just ADD pill sellers. Don't forget the media and entertainment companies. They DEFINITELY don't want you to stop consume their stuff.

I'm pretty sure everyone's like this, even if they say otherwise. Maybe we all look at it in different ways but it's all more or less the same, like how everyone thinks of themselves higher than others.

Sounds like you need some jesus.

On a more serious note start running/walking OUTSIDE. And start going to the gym. Take microbreaks where you just trun 180 degrees and focus on your breath to "reset".

If the stuff above dosen't work just micro dose LSD

Fresh air helps too. A walk is helpful from time to time. Keeps your body moving, pumps more blood to your brain. After you come back from the walk you should be refreshed and ready to work.

Man... I-ve been taking it easy for almost a decade. Until 4 or 5 months ago I could safely say my mind was but an empty husk.

>>8449335

Sounds pretty straight forward and makes sense to me, thanks for your words anon. Godspeed.

>>8449005

Well from monday to friday I go to college and, due to a fucked up schedule, stay almost all day there. I use the small breaks in between (from 1 hour to 2+ hours) to advance in the program I talked about.

Saturdays and Sundays, not much. Just stare at the screen and please myself with useless junk and media, the fact that I have problems getting out of the bed doesn-t help either.

I have faced with the same problem during my master study and still this shit is bothering me at work. So after some researches i came up with hypothesis that the main reason of brain passiveness is due to lack of studying habit. Moreover, your primitive part of brain during the day tries to answer main question - "run or fight" and when you start studing your concentration is stumbling because your brain wants to save mental energy for dangerous life situations ("Is this dog dangerous? Should i run or keep calm ...")

And therefore you should create a studying habit. Start with trigger (physical trigger is more preferred) For example: "after you put headphones, you will study for 10 minutes" Then after each succesful iteration reward yourself with something (candy, playing game for 5 minutes etc)

So i have tried to stick with this habits for the 1 last week and it seems to have potential

She looks like gargamel with makeup. The only difference is gargamels eyes aren't ridiculously lopsided.

Anon, my patience is running out. Stop fucking insulting her right now

>>8452399
It's like when god made her face he was both drunk and high on shrooms. It's sad that even tons of make-up, fake hair and colored lenses can't hide her disgusting fuglyness.

>>8452404

It doesn't matter, anon, she's still my perfect waifu and I wish I was worthy of touching her toes.

Russian asuka waifu is best waifu. Fuck you.

Oh you're making fun of the cosplayer, that's fine.

Here's what works for me:

>have a clean desk area
>try not to have a 5 hour fapping session before you study
>try not to have a 5 hour 4chan session before you study
>basically, be a productive member of society before you start
>as tony robbins always says, humans will do what they find easier, so having a clean desk area with all your books and needed supplies in an easy access area is crucial
>force yourself to study for at least half an hour
>you'll end up studying for 10
>drink lots of water while studying

Not OP but I can't for the love of my life have a clean organized desk. Even If I have a sheet of paper and a pencil I'll somehow make a mess out of it. Literally pic but with a brainlet.
