How do yall focus and concentrate?

[Pazzy]

Always had that problem especially when it comes to reading.

If you can't read a book or finish a movie you have ADHD. I can do both and I think I have it. The only thing that works for me is to be 100% stimulated by something, and even that lasts for only so long. You have to find your own way of dealing with it. Small tasks works some too.

Lofi + pomodoro helped me increase my salary by $100k over the last 2 years. That playlist @BaldingSoHard was a game-changer for me.

A youtube playlist?

Do you masturbate at all? That pic makes me think you beat your meat hard and often. Doing that frequently will fry out your brain's dopamine centers. You brain is naturally supposed to give you hits of dopamine just going about your daily life. When its burned out, you can't concentrate on anything except the most extreme, pleasure-inducing activities (porn, gaming, music).

Give up porn entirely, and limit electronics use (social media, phone before bed) and your concentration will come back.

The issue with most people is they try to focus for 3 hours straight like a Buddhist Monk and if they can't do that they think they failed. Nah, that's just unrealistic. Break the shyt up into 10-20 min. increments (whatever's comfortable), take a break, and resume when you're ready. Eventually that's going to add up to 2-3 hours.

I got so much done yesterday and i had time for my bullshyt. Why do these time constraints help me focus better? Is there science behind this? This worked better than pomodoro.

^ watch all three and take notes.

The fact that you're talking about porn in the very first post OP tells me you very likely need to dopamine detox

With the advent of smartphones and social media, one of the biggest predictors of success in the coming years is probably gonna be each individual person's ability to block out and/or pull themselves away from the bullshyt to focus. Be intentional and careful with how you use social media/the internet/smartphones/etc. Don't take it lightly.

Reading works out focus like a muscle

Isn’t that what we do on the coli? Does it have to be a novel?

That's something I've wondered as well, I think novels work out the muscle more bc you build up a big picture in your head as you go through the book.
