Well, it sounds like you know how to get it.

2017-09-24 02:46:21 UTC  

It's the execution that matters.

2017-09-24 02:46:24 UTC  

yes

2017-09-24 02:46:33 UTC  

That's where people fall off.

2017-09-24 02:46:39 UTC  

Temptation.

2017-09-24 02:46:41 UTC  

yes

2017-09-24 02:46:49 UTC

2017-09-24 02:47:26 UTC  

Eat enough protein too

2017-09-24 02:48:08 UTC  

Falling off is okay, everyone falls off. Just get back too it.

2017-09-24 02:48:27 UTC

2017-09-24 02:48:41 UTC

Fruit.

2017-09-24 02:52:49 UTC

2017-09-24 02:52:55 UTC  

because i tend to be a pretty picky eater lmao

2017-09-24 08:48:20 UTC  

I dont eat any chocolate anymore
I am at at least 100 days nofap
Diet should be pretty healthy, I got a good immune system and I regularly take a blood sample to see if I got all my nutritions

I need to exercise more
I should try to take cold showers again
I'm studying pretty hard, but my results are not as good as I want them to be

If you want some tips for studying, perhaps taking a 15-minute break once an hour will help, if you don't already. Also, whatever you study ~15 min before sleep will be what is best retained, so make sure you do your final Essential Points Review before going to bed, maybe when you're doing automatic stuff like brushing your teeth or washing your face. And if you're allowed to chew gum or have mints/tic-tacs/candies during tests, you could try to associate a class and study sort with a flavour and smell. Helps some people with recall. Hope this helps!

Have you guys heard of the Mind Palace memory technique - for studying?

2017-09-24 17:40:43 UTC  

nope

2017-09-24 17:40:53 UTC  

Yes

2017-09-24 17:41:32 UTC  

Its where you imagine a palace in your mind and you place things that you want to remember in different rooms.

2017-09-24 17:42:18 UTC  

that's

2017-09-24 17:42:19 UTC  

weird

2017-09-24 17:50:13 UTC  

it works by utilizing spacial memory instead of .. other memory

2017-09-24 17:52:52 UTC  

Self Improvement book reccomendations?

2017-09-24 18:06:02 UTC  

Not really, they dont work

2017-09-24 18:06:23 UTC  

Focus on reading classical lit.

2017-09-24 18:06:38 UTC  

Go for, healthy diet, nofap, exercise and developing sound political ideas

2017-09-24 18:06:46 UTC  

Pretty much any western author is a good place to start.

2017-09-24 18:07:57 UTC  

Depending on your reading comprehension level, you may want to start with novelists and work your way to philosophy.

2017-09-24 18:09:22 UTC  

Orwell and Huxley are really good, and important authors to read.

2017-09-24 18:11:30 UTC  

Then to Nietzshe, Decartes, Bertrand Russel, Aquinas, etc....

2017-09-24 18:14:25 UTC  

Also, though he's not technically western, Solzhenitsyn is really important as well, specifically Gulag Archipilago.

2017-09-24 18:16:23 UTC  

Also, important psychology works as well, Freud(Though he missed the mark on a few things, still very enlightening), Jung, Neumann, Becker etc..

2017-09-24 18:16:27 UTC  

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Sometimes known as 'The Art of the Violenly Unstoppable Doormat.'

2017-09-24 18:17:11 UTC  

Yeah, Carnegie is great as well.

2017-09-24 18:17:41 UTC  

That is a decent self-help book. The only good one I know.

2017-09-24 18:17:45 UTC  

Oh, I forgot Dostoevsky.

2017-09-24 18:18:04 UTC  

Any study in Philisophy should start with Plato or the Pre-Socratics.
