Brain training/challenge (akin to marathon training)
People can become very, VERY proficient in a set of tasks if they practice.
Geniuses maybe be able to raise their ceiling easier than the rest of us, but we have more chances to hit it.
For example the top rhythm game players ten years ago didn't have enough content to build the kind of skillsets we see today. Today an "average" top player who puts in alot of time may not have the same skill ceiling as an older god player, but they can still beat many of their scores (outside a few specific ancient meta/garbage file grinds) because they just have more information and tools in the tool belt.
To bring it back to math a genius on the frontier can easily waste years and years on unfruitful approaches because some Joe Blow has yet to come up with the right way to frame the problem.
If you feel that your studies amount to no more than a health maintaining jog (rather than marathon training) then that's fine too but plan your life accordingly.
