>>11777296 became an avid mathematician like three months ago and I can't stop. I stopped watching tv and I don't spend much time on Reddit anymore.
Here's how I did it.
-Remember the average person solves like zero math problems a year. If you solve 5 problems a day, you are 5 problems above the average person
-Don't force yourself to make proofs. Commit to solving 5 problems a day. I swear after three days you'll feel like solving more and after a month or so you should be solving 50-100 problems a day for pleasure
-Read various books on topic at the same time. When I grab a difficult proof or one that makes me sleepy I grab another and switch. This should refresh your head. Keep them thematically different. I study physics and math.
-It isn't a race. Studying slowly won't make you sleepy that fast. Try to acknowledge what subjects are for you to go through fast and which aren't.
-Buy the physical copies. When you get the books from your own money you'll feel the need to read them to avoid the feel of wasting your money.
-Start with topics highly discussed here so you feel motivated to discuss.
