Been lurking here for over one year. Completely turned my life around. I was 18 and I had just flunked out my first year of engineering uni. Junk food. Crippling porn and masturbation addiction. No exercise. No girls. Always was alpha and somewhat red-pilled, and very very lucky (private school, six siblings, devout Catholic family with amazing parents, mother is the best woman I've ever met and alpha red-pilled father with iron frame) but porn and laziness because of how easy school was destroyed my overall work ethic and life at 17-18. It's no understatement that Porn utterly destroyed me and revealed my ADHD and weakness for It's ability to provoke unbelievable dopamine releases.
Fast forward today. Just turned 20. Third year at uni, this year I'm taking 14 subjects of first and second year. If I study hard and make it, I'll finish uni just one year later, three years from now (end in 4 instead of 5). Considering it's one of the hardest engineering schools in the world and very prestigious, it's no problem. Cold showers everyday, bodybuilding expert (lifting 5-6 days a week, compounds, 80-90% of my diet is good), spend all day at uni studying, meditating and reading. No time at home= no porn (quarantine was a huge relapse into my porn addiction, but I got it figured out by just not staying at home). I know how to cold approach hot girls and I'm 6'3 and good-looking, I've got very good game (Todd V and James Tusk in youtube), specially if they're foreign (amazing english level). Read a lot of RedPill literature and I'm red-pilled as fuck, still working on my frame. Blogs, books, youtube channels, and a great tribe of alpha friends (one 20 year-old with a Harley Davidson already, another who competes in natural Bodybuilding, another who's into investing, etc.)
Health, style, general self development, friends, game, RedPill and pussy I got figured out. No advice needed there. You drop me in a european or English-speaking city tomorrow, I can get 40 numbers of girls my age HB7-9 in a day with cold approach.
PROBLEM: My whole family is ADHD, myself included, and I have a salesman personality. None of my direct relatives has studied engineering, and I know if I was studying business, I would fucking nail the shit out of it. I'm not your the engineer type of guy. I'm incredibly social, talk a lot and have difficulty sitting down and studying for long hours. I love the humanities (philosophy, religion, atheism, history) but there's no money there as we all know. Three more years of engineering school and then I'm free to work as whatever I want. I want to learn how to invest, travel alone in the summer, read a lot of books (this is not some pseudo self-development wannabe dreamy bullshit, I truly desire this and will do these things). What I desperately need is DISCIPLINE, FOCUS, and ORDER.
I'm planning on doing a dopamine detox. Youtube and social media, music, and reading are my main distractions. Because of ADHD and my past porn addiction, the distracting power of pussy and the phone, I can spend eight hours a day in the library and literally solve one physics problem. I've done three exams so far (Electromagnetism, differential eq. and thermo) and all of them have been shit. Old me was all A+s in school and now look at this, I have ZERO ability to focus and dig in.
PLAN OF ACTION: dopamine detox, NoFap, pomodoro technique and writing down my goals every day, reading books like Deep work and David Goggins and Jocko Willink. Studying every day and working up my focus muscle.
QUESTION: My willpower and motivation are erratic. A week can go by and not study anything. How do I do what I know needs to be done? I want to learn how to make money online, buy a harley, I want the mind of an engineer and the knowledge of a philosopher (body I got no problem), travel, hold invincible frame. All of this boils down to the MIND. Studying is not very stimulating to me even though I like what I study and desire to be better. If I don't succeed this year, I'll quit and go directly into sales or a business degree to get it out of the way, because I don't want to fool around wasting my youth and I want to be a millionaire by age 30 (aim for the moon and land among the stars kind of thing). I need to control the mind. I need to improve my focus muscle. I need to be able to be very productive. I need advice. I need you.
Any advice is welcome, brothers. God bless you and keep you
