How do you discipline yourself to read books?
I'd like to learn more (like statistics) but despite having unlimited free time I always find myself doing stupid shit on the internet. What can I do to improve this situation?
Schedule your time; write a to-do list and allocate time for those activities; ensure you have time for relaxation, socialisation, and physical activity aside from your study.
for math stuff do x pages a day
keep it around five to ten
you'll finish it in around a month, which is amazing if you consider that text being taught over an entire semester
the key is slow and steady
this isn't like reading fiction or even regular non-fiction

read something you like
if you dont like reading dont read
Sit still and close your eyes for 5 minutes. It will be obvious what's right for you immediately following.

>why you want to learn statistics?
I want to get a job related to statistics and I feel there aren't enough related courses in my degree program's curriculum. A way to solve this is learning on my own. Also I'm impressed by people who use their free time to improve themselves or to do something productive. I want to be more like that myself.

>I want to get a job related to statistics
ok so you like statistics enough to get a job in statistics office or smth?then there shouldnt be any problem in reading statistics books
i think you would get a job anyways and better spend your time going outside and hanging out with your friends but if you want to be autistic nerd and feel guilty when you arent who am i to judge you
I enjoy reading books. But it was an art I had to learn and I used the 20 page rule; Just read 20 pages a day. Takes like what, 10 minutes? If you can't do that you have higher self control issues that need to be resolved first.

You're going to have to be a lot more subtle than that if you're going to try to trick me into meditating

>30 seconds per page
You can't do that well with most literature let alone a textbook on statistics

Well lets double that, 20 minutes, 1 minute per page. If you can't do that then reading isn't your hobby

It's nothing anon, just smells see. *Licks fingers*

20 pages in 10 minutes? Lol bro you need to pick up the pace. I'm at 35 pages in 10 minutes. That's almost double you. Haha.
