Can anyone give me hints on how to go math-monk mode? How to increase concentration (without long term negative consequences), good reading material (especially on algorithms and TCS), etc. Also: Are there things not to do, because they make you "stupid" ?

Meditation. Why do you think those monks have world renowned levels of focus and discipline? Its because they meditate on the subject for hundreds of hours. /sci/ for the most part is far too lazy to achieve results from meditation, or even figure out why their "hypoxia" claims are absolutely retarded.

There are also numeruous studies stating that mediation improves the ability to focus deeply.

Adderall + Huperzine

I play light classical(just what i like) then i drown it out eventually and focus purely on the task at hand. This doesn't really exclusively apply to classical or anything, its simply meditation.

i thought meditation WAS the ability to focus deeply

Practice karma-yoga when working. Attachment to the fruits of your actions hampers work, action in karma-yoga perfects it.

Meditation is specifically for cultivating one-pointedness of mind, hence the single object of meditation, be it a diety, breath, or so on. One-pointedness applies both to meditation and work, it is a factor of mind and thus if you train your mind by meditation you can improve concentration and reduce of flickering of the mind. However, this is very impractical and takes years upon years of experience. Especially not recommended if you plan simply to improve your work ethic. Karma-yoga is much simpler and much more effective.

Amphetamines. You should experiment with different ones and dial in your dosage but it worked for Erdos so you can't go wrong.
>>
>>9161386
Are you implying that any of us are on Erdos' level?
>>
Bullshit some doctor so he can give you a prescription. Don't abuse it though. If that isn't enough kys.

Ritalin or Adderall?
>>
>>9161426
Not that anon, but I wouldn't recommend ritalin for long term use, only use something like that when you truly need it. Using it everyday for a week is enough to leave you brainfried for 2-3 weeks.
>>
>>9161240
Could you reccomend a good intro to karma-yoga???
>>
>>9161459
How's it any different from adderall?
