For learning any kind of math I would recommend learning through a text rather than videos or lectures. Not necessarily a textbook but e.g if there is a lecture series with lecture notes goes through the notes. Reading through it forces you to pay attention more than just watching smth where you could be daydreaming as it rolls.

Thats wild cause in high school before i was able to get my own Rx, i would bum Vyvanse from my friend and those always felt like "cleaner" experience at first, and then the come down was way worse than addys for me.

But FAM...you aint gotta tell me that Concerta is trash. One day my Vyvanse friend was all out, and my other friend said "well my little brother takes Concerta and its basically the same thing. I'll give you one."

I took that s*** the next morning and then started driving to school (it was about a 35 drive). About 5 mins away from school, all of a sudden my arms and wrist locked up and twisted around like i was a movie character being possessed, i had a half-conscious seizure behind the wheel in bumper to bumper school traffic, and then puked all over my lap and steering wheel.

Had to steer my car with my elbows into a teacher's parking spot and limped into the front nurse office to tell her what happened, and my mom came to pick me up. I got home and laid in bed, and when i woke up i couldnt move my legs and was bedridden for several hours.

Finally the next afternoon it all passed out of my system and i felt normal.

After that, i made sure to get my own Rx and NEVER go near anyone who even mentions concerta again

Also found out through that experience that concerta is supposed to be taken at night before bed or something, and you wake up the next day with the d***'s effect kicked in. Or some s*** like that. Sounds like dumb s*** to me

jokes aside i do not recommend anyone to start using this habitually or daily unless you're prescribed and for good reasons. some doctors just give it out willy nilly

REAL TALK

Took me a while to realize that it was slowly ruining my mental state and schedule. Took even longer to ween myself off of it.

There's nothing worse than taking amphetamine meds everyday for a month, and then not taking it for ONE day...and amphetamine withdrawal fatigue kicks in instantly and you sleep for like 5 days straight

last fall, I did it for the whole semester and would take mad klonopin or x**** when I was done with my schoolwork. i'd stay up for two days goin to class fueled on this crap

by the end of the term I went from 122 lbs to 114 (im 6'2" as well ), diet consisting of coffee and cigarettes and speed

at the end of christmas break I mixed ambien with amph and ended up in the ward with memory loss and a cut down my thigh. my parents refuse to tell me what happened that night

that was the end of using it daily. now i hit it when i'm way behind with schoolwork and it's good enough for me

That’ll only take you so far.....when you gotta understand rigorous explanations of a theorem or proof it’s best to read a book on it. Or when you are tasked to making your own mathematical proofs from calculus, there’s only so much a Reddit post can do for you....before you will need a decent book for a through and concise explanation.

If you wanna get a great book that explains calculus very well I would suggest this...

It’s actually (at least for me) fun to read and not dry to the core like a traditional textbook. I’m being frank, if you’re serious about teaching yourself calculus then you’d have a textbook similar to this in your hands or the pdf on your phone, calculus gets extremely technical and you’ll notice the deeper you dig into rigorous math, the less stack exchange and Reddit will be able to assist you because you’re so far down the rabbit hole of knowledge .

you need to plan ahead

give yourself enough time to understand the material before the test/due date

i remember taking this learning how to learn coursera course from uc san diego and they introduced me to some good learning techniques such as chunking and pomodoro
