Whats the Maximum amount of hours one can learn, say university level math, effectively?
What can one do to increase that amount of hours?
How many hours does it take to refresh ones brain to full Energy again after a long study Session?
Are rest days needed?

Say you had a full 16 hours starting at 6am, how would you structure the day for optimal Learning Performance?

Therefore cycling throughout a day and taking a longer break for a nap and letting the diffused mode of thinking to do the work.

Try monitoring your performance throughout the day.
You'll notice peaks and slumps in your productivity.
Adjust accordingly.

In case of 16 hours:
960minutes
16 sprints for 52 minutes each + 90 minutes to take the rest, including 2X26minutes NASA power naps and 4-5 minutes in between the sprints.
Although after such a day your brain will be on fire.

There seems to be a limit of 4 hours for working at maximum intellectual intensity per day.

The book "daily rituals" about highly successful creative people found few worked much more than 4 hours a day at their thing. They did do more hours but that was routine work.

Also there was a famous study of budding concert violinists which found that those who made it practised hard for 4.5 hours a day. They pushed to 4.5 hours by having a nap at lunchtime.

I have tested this myself and it seems to be true. Beyond 4.5 hours I burn out.

If you can do 4.5 hours a day of really hard intellectual work you will blow away the competition. So I suggest to people to focus on getting the 4.5 hours out each day.

Tips
* You cannot carry forward to any great extent. Use your 4 hours or lose it.

* Have a nap at lunchtime to push out an extra half an hour

* Usual hygiene factors apply - nutrient rich diet, exercise (small amounts of intense exercise, considerable walking / light aerobic), ample sleep.

* Most people find that the 4 hours is best scheduled for early i the day.

* Having a strong daily schedule really helps.

* You have to be completely hard core about the 4 hours. Let nothing get in the way of it.

I am looking for exceptions. I foun
d 3 possibles/ Proust, took caffeine tablets, died at 52. Erdos, took amphetamines, died at 80 ish. Possibly Richard Stallman who is a fanatic and burned out as a programmer mainly for phyisical reasons also it looks like he has the beetus.

>52 minutes at a time
>4 Hours per day
Lectures and mandatory study groups alone are combined 18 hours (raw lecture time, not counting breaks etc.) per week.
Then there is mandatory homework for 3 courses (Physics 1, linear algebra, analysis) which is another estimated 15 hours per week.
Then depending on how much you understand more time to go trough the lectures again (Maybe 1 hour per day)
Thats 40 hours per week at 70-100% brain usage.

Ngl thats harder than most Jobs in the world...

Lectures are possibly the slowest and worst way to learn.
Reading trumps listening.
Both in terms of speed and retention.
I highly recommend focusing on written sources and textbooks.
Only when feeling bored and burned out reaching to some educational videos and tutorials.
Try libgen.is or book4you.org(same as libgen but better more graphical interface).

Godspeed Anons!

DON'T.

Although trying something like Adderall should be a better replacement.
