You have to not be a faggot. Just take breaks as often as you have to, make a conscious effort to study in a productive manner when you feel yourself failing. Think about your endgame, what do you want out of studying? Ability to apply X? Comprehensive knowledge of Y?

I dont really study all day, its more like I study for 1-2hrs, take a break, another hour of study, break, etc. Doing it all at once isnt helpful, taking time off between infodumping a bunch of shit into your brain helps it set in your memory better

Study for as long as you can comfortably manage taking reasonble breaks, do this consistantly and incrementally build up your ability to focus for longer time, just like if you were to build muscle

In highschool when I had friends, drugs, and a gf I thought the same.

Now studying is litteraly all I do

>uni says you should spend 10 hours on each unit (4 units per full time semester) per week (including in-class time)
>have a coordinator that sets up 6 hours of in class time and gives you 3 weeks to do assignments that would take >20 hours
>so many people do poorly on this assignment and I don't know why
Really makes you think.

Spotted the normie.

Adderall. For real. Shit is magical. I got a script because I'm not a criminal :^)

Breaks. I take a ~7 minute break every hour. It gives me time to organize everything in my head, think about something else, and just relax for a minute. This helps you study for extensive periods of time. This is best paired with a cigarette :^)

Caffeine. I get a trenta iced coffee from starcucks, put a slap koozie on it, and sip on it for hours. It keeps your brain focused and excited, so you're willing to intake new information.

I used to study for 20+ hours at a time during my senior year of undergrad. My record is 30 something hours. Taking Adderall, you can stay up for days cramming info. I was up for 50+ hours once.

tldr: drugs.

>>9164629
Why the homophobia?

>>9164402
2 hours per day, the week before the exams only. Otherwise 0

>>9165163
how can a normal pleb get Adderall?

something must be wrong with me because I cannot study for longer than 10 minutes at a time, I've managed to do pretty well, but undergraduate material tends to be easy. I'd get btfo'd if I tried grad school, I'm sure.

There shouldn't be a need to study all day every day. I can mostly manage around 6h of effective studying per day. Usually it's less. The trick is making a routine and starting early, and not just fucking around in the library on your phone like most people. I did better on my exams when I studied 6h a day at most than when I studied closer to 10h a day, and was far less burned out by at the end. All of my exams for the year are in a period of 1-2 weeks in the spring so it gets very stressful. I started studying around two months in advance, before that I just attended lectures and did questions.

>>9165163
You sound annoying and the stuff you're suggesting is not healthy. You get away with it when you're young and healthy, but you could just learn discipline and sustainable work habits which would benefit you even after university.

>>9165163
Although the bit about keeping a small break around every hour is a good idea.

Nonetheless, don't try to study for 20+h at a time.

Thanks for the video. I think that advice is a good compromise between pomodoro (strictly timing your breaks even if you're in "flow") and trying to study for an extended period of time without breaks.

Call a local chain pharmacy you've never filled at before. Tell them you are trying to find your old doctor. Ask them to look up a name (notice I said "a," which does not necessarily mean "your"), date of birth, address, etc. Doesn't matter if they find something or not. Tell them you haven't been to the doctor in a while and need to get on Concerta again. Ask them to recommend you a doctor who deals with a lot of ADD patients. They know which doctors will write the script for new patients; you just have to pry it out of them.

Advanced social engineering.

>>9165559
It's because of retards like you that people that actually suffer from ADD can't get the help they need

>>9164402
You're probably trying to study the same topic all day. Switch it up, also change locations as you get tired, exercise a little in the middle of the day, and don't ever eat a giant meal.

>>9164414
Faggot here, I use the word to describe myself all the time. It's not an insult to me, it is what I am.

>>9165648
>>9165401
Oh and like this anon said be sure to start as early as possible. I can only start about 90 minutes after waking up so I shower and shit first, then I am productive 8-10 hours. You suffer greatly, especially in creative work, when you're tired.

Sorry about your thread.

Depends on the subject or subjects. I can spend from 1-3 hours a day on a single subject depending on how long it takes to do practice problems. Longest I ever go is 5 when I didn't have time to study for a day.

I can do 2-3 hours per subject but I usually don't need all that time. I like to do 3-4 hours, take a break and exercise or read something not study related, and then knock out another 2-4 hours.

Don't eat big meals on your break or just play on your phone/computer. Keep your brain and your body active, just through a different stimulus.

>>9164636
Maybe for you, burgers. In yuropoor we have more than 1 class so when i get tired/bored of studying it, i move on to the next one and so on. Have no trouble studying whole day if i need to.

Go to your family doctor tell them you have a "review quiz" at the end of every lecture. And no matter how hard you try to concentrate on the teacher you score poorly every class. This is actually why I take adderall. But I went from a C student to 2nd highest GPA in one of my classes. Shit is a Godsend for me. Also take the generic the otherone is way to expensive. There is some stuff online about adderall xr and the generic not being the same to fillers. Its bullshit to me.

Why is it that I can focus for 6+ hours straight when playing videogames but can't even study for 20 minutes?

>>9165951
As if most of the greats didn't drink coffee or smoke cigarettes. Fuck look at all the vices of Feynman. Or better yet Paul Erdos and amphetamines.

4chan isn't the deep south, "faggot" didn't really mean homosexual here until /pol/ exploded.

To understand how it is used you have to look at it from the perspective of male oneupmanship. There is this ideal of a proper man, someone interested in sports, music and partying, someone sociable and part of a fashionable subculture. The "faggot" is a male who fails to meet these standards yet still acts like a prancing peacock, in OP's case a nerd whomst succeeds academically yet puts an ungodly amount of time into studying and seems to enjoy it.

That "fagmo" who keeps camping in a video game or those "fags" who openly talk about anime without shame. You don't have a frothing at the mouth hatred of them, they are not "lesser thans" as in its more hateful incarnation, it is more like you are trying to take them off their high horse. You say they are not a "proper man", not like Chad who clocked a 4.7 second 40 yard dash, just some "faggot".

Sometimes it is an endearing term, a "faggot" is not some boring normy at least. Chad will snub you if you want to talk about something other than how drunk he was last night whereas that "faggot" always has something to say and can handle banter without snapping and beating you up.

I learned how to trance out while reading from reading most of the Hardy Boys books (seriously most of them) and eventually getting into a state where I could just sort of visualize the entire story as I sped through it picking up the few variant details.
Then I did that with nonfiction books and passed every test in school forever.
Maybe it was genetics, not the Hardy Boys, but I can't do it very well anymore. I can sort of get glimmers of what used to happen. Sometimes I think, "Maybe I should go read the Hardy Boys again to reconnect with how I started on this," but man, those books are hard to return to. They are not actually good.

medfag here.

it takes time. but i would start a stopwatch when i started to study and i woudl pause it whenever i'd take a break.

it started being like 20m max. but over the course of months it kept getting higher and higher.

i can easily put in 6hrs. of studying in now.

i also have a place where i go to everyday to study. i don't go anyplace else. so this place i associate with studying and i don't waste time here.

i also use positive reinforcement. if i do my quota of work i enter it into a spreadsheet and then i go out and socialize and party. if i don't fulfill my quota, i don't do that.
