GTFIH ADHDcels and lazy normies...
#1 Ritalin or Methlyphendiate. This one is number one its great for studying terrible side effects though. If your at all an anxious person normally then on this shit you will have a panic attack just doing anything slightly stressful. I take it for study periods but if I have to do something like drive to the bank or anything not boring I feel just on edge the whole time. Its really unpleasant for the most part but the anxiety forces you to focus on your work.
(side note)
I want to try an amp at some point I hear adderall is ritalin but zero anxiety the issue is that its highly addictive. The one good thing about ritalin is that I could never get addicted to this stuff if I tried. It basically is horrible for anything but studying just expect yourself to be 4X more anxious. You will be anxious in anything that makes you a little bit stressed normally but if you need to focus it will work for the most part there are limits and you need to have everything else in order first.
#2 Sleep/diet/physical activity
Doesn't matter how much ritalin you take if you got 3 hours of sleep your fucked. So I need to get 6 hours of sleep and usually at least one physical thing like lifting weights ideally in the morning. Also intermittent fast in the mornings when I do 90% of my work.
#3 Caffeine (use sparingly)
With Ritalin it takes months sometimes for it to lose effectiveness if you take 1-2 days off a week you can go a super long time before needing sometime off. Caffeine is something that if you use it consistently you will get dependent on within 3 weeks. You should try to use it either in crunch times like for a week before exams or on random days when you are really tired. If you get addicted to it then it just becomes something you need to take otherwise you get headaches but if you don't have it much a caffeine boost can be super effective.
#4 Having an autistic amount of routines.
I've found the only way to consistently do work (which is the only way to ever be successful in anything hard/challenging) is to have a routine. For the past few weeks I have just been going to the gym then going to this coffee shop near my work for 8 hours then I do my shift and go home. I have like 1 day off a week. At first the routine made me want to kill myself but I've found it becomes a routine very fast. Whenever I go to the coffee shop I know I need to get work done because I only have 8 hours to do it. Try studying at the same time always if you are distracted go to a place where you can't goof off. I can't just browse 4chan or look at porn in a coffee shop so I'm more inclined to do real work.
#5 Using a text to speech program
After I get so tired of studying I just switch to text to speech its less effective then reading but video or audio content is more engaging then reading and even if you don't fully listen you are still at least getting passive learning in.
Tldr #1 Ritalin(or other adhd meds), #2 workout once a day intermittent fasting and at least 6 hours of sleep, #3 caffeine, #4 strict routine, #5 text to speech or video content (anything more engaging)
