Alright /sci/ bros, what are psychology/science proven ways to stay motivated? I've been going up hours on how much I study and I'm burning out already. Coffee isn't helping. I get weird mental pains. Can't into studying >5 hours every day.

I only study at most 4 hours a day for a mechanical engineering degree. What are you studying that requires 5+ hours?

Graduate Mathematics. I was surprised too by how little you guys study in comparison too. It's not difficult though. Anyway the method of introducing new things to support and help develop a good habit comes to mind here, and I think that if I added something to do while studying I would easily do >7. Maybe chewing seeds? Stuff like that.

I don’t have any advice because I can’t focus for more than 4 hours a day. And I was surprised how it wasn’t as much studying as it thought it was going to be. I only really study >2.5 hours whenever a test is coming up

Start a timer on your phone and put it away.

Know that if you don't study you might as well just die, you are worthless otherwise.

Thanks for not saying that psychology is a science, I like you.

Also you will get used to it.

Keep your blood glucose levels up.
But Motivation is for losers. Instead of finding more motivation or will power to do hard work, make the work easier so it requires less motivation to get the same result.

I can try to solve a sudoku where you're supposed to do the X-Y wing elimination technique, but I'll never do it before I know what the fuck the X-Y wing elimination technique is. You shouldn't study for 5 hours you should learn problem solving techniques and watch examples and hope you recognize the weird ways to apply them your professor will put on the tests

You aren't taking enough coffee. Its not linear, there is a certain value of coffee that once ingested, provides a tremendous increase in concentration. I'd liken it to a shorter lived adderal. For me, its a rapidly chugged triple shot of espresso.

Even for my undergrad, I studied over 20 hours a week per math class. I was also an A student. The amount you have to study is the amount it takes to get an A, whatever that value is. Good luck.
