By keeping careful notes of my work so if I get bored and walk away I can easily get back into the mindset.

Someone give me a project to work on

Quints witnessed :)

Don't do this. Most employers don't give a shit about how much you had fun doing your project. Yes it will be easier to complete, but it won't help you much when job searching. Learn some modern frameworks/libraries that are actually in use, so you can demonstrate in demand skills on your resume.

t. CS grad that has trouble finding a job because all I have are useless "fun" projects that don't use anything beyond basic language libraries

>yes but personal projects too
then what I said, basically. make things you want to work on and want to see done
t. can't concentrate on anything too

Your portfolio should have projects that showcase your ability to properly program the common algorithms (bisect search, tree, etc) and whatever real world examples you have pertaining to your desired industry/field.

You learn that in school, though. Why use a tree when your project doesn't need a tree? Still better advice than "just do what's fun, bro", I'll give you that.

be organized. make lists of things you have to do before starting, complete said lists as you go
have some discipline.
your motivation will drive you to do the rest.

Stop using JewTube.
Stop using Plebbit.
Very rarely use Jow Forums and if you do, focus on the few productive threads.

>motivation
what's motivation

nice quints

still no solution

Motivation is fickle, discipline is longer lasting.

You only need too things:
- Use pomodoros
- Block all possible distractions during the time block you intend to work.

Now go work/learn some useless shit.

by not having ADD.

this is legitimately my solution. Works pretty good except for all the anxiety attacks

you have to find a novel use for the tree (or whatever), that's the whole portfolio frien

THIS.

Adderall is the true redpill. Fuck what you heard. Frees your mind, become genius. Also, crackhead energy and focus.

modafinil is more helpful actually tho
also listen to jbp wave so you enjoy yourself while doing your work. youtube.com/watch?v=H09e11JJwFk

enjoy your psychosis later

What about ritalin?

pomodoro and pi hole is legit

Lmao, has been disproven multiple times. Enjoy remaining in the dirt, pleb.

enjoy your candy stranger, When you get burned out and realize that adderall induced cortisol hangovers aren't worth it ; you can move on to drugs that actually work for longer than 2-4 hours.

By starting a new one that I will finish. Hopefully...

Stop playing vidya. Go cold. It's an addiction and it destroys productivity.
Stop watching television if you haven't already.
Set aside blocks of work time where you're absolutely not allowed to do anything other than work. If you just sit there bored as fuck, so be it.
Eat better. You're probably eating garbage.
Exercise. You don't need to get swole, just jog or something for 20 minutes a day.
Above all, do a project you WANT to do. Kick yourself in the ass when you're not making progress on it. Keep the inertia going once it starts.

Good luck user.

>implying theres more to learn from Jow Forums than youtube and reddit combined
>being this fucking delusional
lmao

I got prescribed it, and it helps, but it comes and goes

Being this cucked you can't control your own willpower

>not using modafinil

Looking at blacked.com is not cucked, it’s sophisticated

nice digits

Stop MASTURBATING and having sex.
These drain motivation and pump you full of prolactin.
Look at ADDforums and ADHD related subreddit. Unabashed pornography users most of them, admitting 2 times per day without medication. This ruins their mind and makes them obsess over sex instead of being productive. Abstinence doesn't make one more horny as long as you remove sexual stimuli from your environment and purge all sexual thoughts from your mind when they arise. It takes time to quit but it is possible. Even periodic sexual abstinence can be valuable for accomplishing projects.

>using forums and Reddit as evidence to make decisions involving your health

would call you a troll but I know that people actually are this fucking retarded

anyone here use weed? i know indica is shit for being productive but what about sativa? i used it one time to code but i didnt really feel like it helped me stay focused. I felt more like i was getting a brain massage, which was nice, but idk if its helping me.

Weed kills productivity, but it can make boring work fun.
>writing sys calls for OS project
>high on hybrid

Kill yourself and try again next life.

>Stopping masturbating is something that requires a doctor notice

lol

I stopped smoking weed right before I got into programming but I can't imagine it would make you more productive unless you were smoking while already hyper-focused on a project.

This contradicts the point of it being a threat

Remember that you are a free man and you can not do this project if you don't want to. You are not a peon and can make your own choices.

you probably should take up something with your doctor if you're getting your life philosophies from trademarked businesses like nofap

Semen conservation goes back thousands of years. The guy who runs nofap has nothing against sex which means he's doing it wrong. You picked a poor example.

Get lots of sleep. I noticed much of my inattentiveness was due to my insomnia.

this once you're a procrastinating piece of trash you always will be i should know I'm one

>thinks stimulant psychosis "has been disproven multiple times"
>t: I've used amphetamine for a few months at most and think I'm smarter on it
0/5 to you, my beginner junkie friend

Not an end-all cure-all, but if you're fapping once or more per day, you're definitely wasting your time and energy. Time and energy that you could be using towards working on your goals, projects, etc.

For some people it might work, but most of the time weed makes you significantly dumber, so I wouldn't personally use it.

Good advice

As for my advice;
Basically discipline (in life in general, not just in working on a specific project), knowing yourself well enough to be able to manipulate/motivate yourself efficiently, regular and healthy routines (waking up, going to sleep, eating, etc.), no alcohol or drugs, except for nicotine.
And by nicotine I don't mean cigs (unhealthy, time wasting) or vape (gay), but rather NRT products. I recommend microtabs, but I know a lot of people using gum and patches.

Also, if you procrastinate (which you shouldn't) at least procrastinate by doing something productive, such as helping others, or working on a side project, cleaning your apartment, etc.

I experienced it first-hand, but it's a temporary thing, and really only happens if you frequently binge and stay up for multiple days. However, long term use of stims will fuck up your ability to feel highs and lows. Hope you enjoy feeling like a zombie for a few years while your brain learns how to produce dopamine again. Seriously, you're playing a very dangerous game.
