Any TRP tips on studying?

Turn off PC, TV and cell phone. Get up early. Eat some light breakfast. Lift. Study. It's not really that complex.

Obviously you're studying things that do not interest you. Treat it like a job. Do your learning in class, ask your questions while there and take useful notes. Do not leave unless you have gotten your money's worth. Go see the instructor if necessary. Actually go see him even if not necessary.

Tips? Many yes.

I'm 17 and I too was in your situation. All throughout high school that was me and nearly didn't get into college because of my poor grades. Let me tell you now, there is no short fix to genuine self discipline. I took me months to get to where I am now and still it's an ongoing battle.

I could make an entire post on this as there are many tools and methods which are very helpful such as :

Daily Planning
Pomodoro technique
Feynman technique

But the bread and butter of it comes down to terminating distractions, realize when you are procrastinating and just fucking do it.

It won't be pleasant nor easy, but just.do.it.

Here at TRP we love to say "lift bro; pump that iron". Well think of your discipline/ will power/ whatever as a muscle. Aim for that little bit of hypertrophy everyday. Small little progressions everyday. Maybe start at 10mins, then 15 the next day. Each day add some weight and before you know it, you'll be benching 3,4,5hrs a day with ease.

This is just the surface. If you are serious about this then give me a PM and I can help you even more.

Don't procrastinate. Start early and be organised and disciplined with study times, as you would with all of your daily tasks (gym, food, work, chores, sleep)

This question itself is procrastination. You'd rather ask questions you already know the answers to then to just follow the advice you know you're going to get, which is this:

Nothing in life is easy. You have to put in the same work as everybody else just to BE like everybody else, which means you have to do even MORE than that to be BETTER than anybody else. If it were that easy, everyone would be doing it.

So fucking get to it.

No cramming

No drugs or pills

Study a little bit every night instead of trying to do one or two big nights of studying right before the exam. Discipline.

Pomodoro technique

Four sessions of 1 hr each is far superior to one session of 4 hrs each.
