/sci/ how do you get better at learning? What is the most effective

i just microdose lucy or load myself up on stims and autistically read for hours straight while thinking about what i am reading some. the habit is getting built up enough so i do it sober now some too. cant say i recommend it though since it is easy to abuse and you could become some fucked up meth head who stays up fir 3 days straight jerking off the whole time while getting serious brain damage

I'm trying to keep stims/drugs as a last resort or when a particulary shit exam comes up, I'm looking for tips which improve the "meta"

hm, idk. just find a decent book in your area of interest and try to sit on the couch and unplug for a while and read a set amount of time a day. build habits slowly, your brain doesnt like shock. too much of something new makes your brain go nuts. think of how an acid noob would react to a tenstrip while a pro would be more ok with it. its like that but with studying

You're a brainlet because you need to work over 6 hours.

Nice analogy. Will try

>>8729044
you're one of those guys who just read through the course once and get A, no?

>>8728663
stop trying to learn things you don't find interesting
yes i am aware that you might not be interested in something you wish you were
no it does not matter
>>8728648
have at least 2 friends that did exactly what you said, don't do that

I've just always enjoyed learning, it's my biggest hoby and always had been.
Probably because my mom read me animal encyclopedias instead of pop up books

aka active reading and active listening that you were taught in English but you never pay attention but w/e. Though I wouldn't know because I just got serious with /edu/...

Also stop smoking/masturbating/procrastinating

>>8729206
or you are in an easy major if you just skim through any material and remember every detail, you cannot tell me you understood quantum mechanics just by "active reading that you where thought in English"

>after 6 hours I get exhausted
>I'm a brainlet

It's completely normal to feel exhausted after studying for six hours straight. Take breaks in between in order to study more.

this is ok but slightly poorly worded. too much smoking or jerking off is bad, but no sexual release makes you go nuts. you'll browse tinder for release and get herpes from some gross whore. dont use jerking off as a way to put off work. so basically, dont procrastinate

>>8728648
but what if you don't jerk off the WHOLE time??

>>8729868
i mean i started doing some work on coke and got a deal done then saw porn while working then did more coke then 6 hours later i looked at myself in serious shame. pretty bogus. on stims you can feel horny again like 10s after jerking off, fucking unreal. gotta be careful my man

sounds good pham

I usually do 14-16 hours for 1 day before exam, I even finished one medschool year but it takes 4-7 tries before you pass studying like that, alas that was years ago but I restarted the procedure in a different STEM field and got similar results at first but I don't have the motivation or willpower to get through that shit again so I'm continuing my neet life. I'm 25

Chunking, I guess pomodoro is a method of doing this. The Feynman method. Don't go to lectures but watch them at 2x speed on youtube instead in order to maximize the knowledge absorbed within the windows of focus.

LSD microdosing, tripping. It really does help me get interested and see the importance of my pursuits in a new light. Because that's the key think, interest. You can have your techniques but at the core you must be commited to what you do. You can't do it for something else like cash or fame. One must do it because one loves it. Also fuck stimulants, coffee is enough, anything stronger than that is just you compensating for a lack of interest or trying to undo the errors of bad planning.
