posting on 4chan is, admittedly, absolutely a horrible thing to do for your attention span.

i posit that (You)s are scientifically more addictive than nicotine, or alcohol, or weed, or even a combination of the three. a (You) is basically equivalent to a line of coke. your best tactic right now is to quit /sci/ immediately if you want to ever focus for more than 3 minutes

Methylphenidate helps. If you've never done acid or ayahuasca they help in general.

Adding that last part in is going to derail your thread. As a fellow black anon I'll share some tips.
>Cut out distractions
>Don't try to multitask
>Set a clear goal when you're working and try to hit that
>Clean your work area before beginning (clutter can equal mental stress)
>Focus only on X until a set time that feels right for you
>Cut out the internet when not necessary
>Consume better media content that actually teaches you shit or goes toward you're interests/work

Try reading a book. It's beyond more interesting than any half-baked video essays or two cent political opinions someone has. You just have to get into it but unless you just watch yt for entertainment the degree of information you can get from yt is downright pathetic and creepy.

They have apps which ban you from using internet for a time period you set and can be made to stay on even if you delete the app. It's usually just an unconscious grabbing of the phone that happens

Same here anon YouTube is the final boss of internet addiction. Easy to cut FB/Twitter/Instagram/4chan but YouTube keeps you sucked in when so much supplementary material is on it for educational purposes. Before you know it you’re watching cat videos.

Lots of khan academy type stuff for me personally. Like I said, supplementary to main course/book work.

i think Lenny Susskind’s lectures on string theory are way better than any “intro” string theory book. Zweibach sucks like a pornstar

Youtube has a few good (pop) sci Youtube channels.
https://youtu.be/OHdV9aO6jaE
https://youtu.be/fDek6cYijxI
https://youtu.be/LQ7Px9CZ7zc

But those pop-sci videos are usually too short, because they were designed to clickbait people with short attention spans.

You have to get used to longer videos over a half hour long too.
And I'm not talking about just Meme Podcasts such as Joe Rogan's.

I'm talking about full length STEM lectures from MIT or Stanford such as:

I used to just search up random things in math or something from 4 or 5 different youtubers until I got it but the syllabus of a book keeps it all under one process. Plus you can't really think like you can w a book. With a video you have to process a lot of junk and learn more passively.
I just watch video games on there or random crap but I'd pick a book over YouTube completely. I think if op reads more he'd find YouTube vacuous. The medium is shit.
