Further improvements. Anonymous 01/24/15 (Sat) 20:19:03 No.694

I've been bussy with self improvement lately, but some of my "problems" seem stubborn, first i'd like to point out what I've been doing or trying to do.

IMPROVEMENTS :
I've quit smoking cigarettes ^[3 months]
I've quit smoking weed ^[4 months]
I've quit doing hard drugs ^[1 year]
I workout ^[4 months]
Eat healthy
Getting up on a decent hour [^1 Month]

All good I'm looking well from the not smoking and working out. BUT, my mind is utter crap… I've smoked weed for 7 years. I used to be really bright and top of my class without any effort, but now, ever since I returned to college ( I dropped out before out cause of drug&weed lifestyle ) I'm struggling to even get average scores… I mean … I sometimes only barely get passed…

What can I do to improve my mind and memory function ?
It's been a long time since I used drugs and smoked weed, my memory is better then it was when I was still using. But it's still nowhere as good as it was prior to daily weed use. Will I ever regain all my capacity ? How can I speed up this process?

Also I'm also having difficulty with being productive, does anyone have tips for that? I can study with concentration / be productive for some 3 or 4 hours a day and then I just can't anymore…

I tried cold showers but I've quit after 2 tries. that shit is cold man!
I'm doing "NoFaP", more like NoFap 3 weeks or so, not sure howlong I'm going to control it… Not sure if nofap is really benifical if you don't really have had a porn addiction.
I've read something about "transmutating sexual energy" , supposed to not release semen and take that energy to be productive or something, does anyone have info on that? does it work? so far I don"t think i'm transmutating anything lol…

uhmmmmmmm if anyone has advice, thnx. otherwise, thnx for reading my piece of improve-o-text.

Productivity can be aided by going for a walk, no music or anything, just a walk and your thoughts, it's incredibly therapeutic and will boost your morale hugely.

I'd also recommend keeping at it with the cold showers, or start off warm for a few minutes and slowly turn it to the coldest setting for when you finish, Since I've started my uni work and motivation has improved immeasurably.

First of all, well done on your improvements, you've done well man, that's pretty impressive progress.

When it comes to study, make sure you get breaks, so for example:
>1 hour study
10 minute break
>90 minutes study
20 minute break
Within those two breaks make sure you reward yourself, whether it's a pat on the back and a "Well done Anon" or something nice like say your favourite sweet. It's important to reward yourself.

When it comes to study, my advice would be for you to just start small and gradually increase. So initially start with 1 study block(Either a 60 minute or 90 minute variation) then after a few days upgrade that block from 60 to 90 or if it was already 90, add in an extra 60 minute block.

So here's an example of how it would look:
>Monday
60 minutes
>Tuesday
60 minutes
>Wednesday
60 minutes
>Thursday
90 minutes
>Friday
90 minutes
>Saturday
90 minutes
>Sunday
90 minutes, 20 minute rest, 60 minutes
>Monday
90 minutes, 20 minutes rest, 60 minutes
>Tuesday
90 minutes, 20 minutes, 90 minutes

And then on and on, you get the point. By starting small, you insure that the work gets done and by doing said work consistently you're turning it into a habit.

Make sure to rest, sleep well and to reward yourself. Give it time and the initial 60 minutes of study you started with will bloom into 6 hours.

Make sure you set up timetables and keep track of your work.
