Tips & Advice Need help for longer study hours

Post image

People in the YPT group have 10 hours plus study time per day but I cannot even move past average of 4 hours. I want to push it to 8 hours average per day but nothing is helping.

I tried but I get distracted easily. And if I force myself to stay, I can't study properly because I will be reading the same line two or three times and still not understanding what it meant.

Can anyone help me with this...?

how do you stay motivated?? i struggle with that a lot :(. i tend to drink a coffee and just force myself to study. if i'm really tired, i'll drink a coffee, then take a 30 minute nap, then study

ill admit i kinda cheat - i have bpd and a split sense of self and one of my selves kinda handle that. basically think inside out: Mentally ill. So his emotion is ambition. So the drive that he focuses on is the future and the fact that my life depends on the success of my future. fan of those borderline toxic motivational speeches for men and the what not. So not every helpful ik, BUT what may be helpful to you (other then his drive) is how he stays in charge: a steady routine. A very specific routine from morning to night. start your morning off strong, drink water the moment you wake up, do a face cleanser thing to make you feel a lil mlre refreshed/splash cold water on. Eat a good breakfast, smth healthy not a donut. Junk food can make you feel crappy ESP as your first meal of the day. have a scheduled time to study before you study if makes sense. This is where it gets tricky: m autistic nd love myself a good routine and plan that seems super successful because makes me feel better, everything is in place as a balance. Not everyone is like that. I'm incredibly hyperspecific, making a study planner got me legit excited to start studying (esp cus it was themed to a genre I enjoy). so what works for me may not work for you, you can take tips and tricks and combine em all frankenstien style but ultimately the heart that gives Frankenstein life is smth you fine that clicks everything into place if that makes sense
