That's it, it's not a matter of intelligence, rather it is a matter of being able to say "I'll do this thing for 10 hours" and actually do it.
The first times you will often get distracted, but as long as you'll immediatly redirect your attention on the task at hand you'll make progress, building this way tolerance.

>b-b-but how to do it
Just do it you pussy. Sit down now, start thinking about why you should be productive, write about it, synthetize your arguments, write them on post-its and plaster them EVERYWHERE. If you're giving up on what you think you should do, chances are that you've just est arguments you formulated earlier on. Also by having reminders everywhere, you will diminish the chances of just forgetting what you were supposed to do, due to distraction.

t. user who is slowly learning discipline: now I can easily work deliberately 8 hours everyday om what I need to do (studying piano and composition), 2 years ago I was BARELY able to tolerate 2 hours of exercise. This discipline can be applied to everything: it's not about knowing how to study piano, rather it is about knowing how to just do something for x hours.
If you need specific tips just ask.

Veeky Forums didn't exist back then

by inhaling farts

You are giving me hope, user. Thank you.

You are right about self-discipline and the power of persistence and steady work, but littering one's house with post its sounds like an absolutely retarded idea.

Jimmy had Nora sent him her shit ziplocked in the mail which he would use to produce jenkum. The abuse of which resulted in Finnegan's wake

Wait until you hear Borges talk about literature.

I am you but weaker. How do I stop wondering? I can't focus for several minutes without losing sight of what I am reading and start thinking of random shit. I am not talking about using my imagination and wonder based on what I read, I'm talking about thinking about my groceries or a friends/relative problem more often than I want to.
Right now as soon as I realize I did this I go back to the text, any other tips?

Sorry not my native Language.

plausible.

The only thing about this that ISN'T believable is that Ziploc technology wasn't invented until 1968.

>tfw he would've'st'ed been even better

Not that user but meditation and yoga is not just a meme and does help focus the mind.

Really all exercise will help with concentration but yoga is legitimately focused on the mind as well so it's a bit more effective.

He didn't debilitate himself by smoking pot.

He had Funes el memorioso tier memory

He had a superior education.

The gases that constitute farts make your memory's power go beyond normal human limits, they make your entire brain become more elastic and flexible, that's how he became a master of forms
Start smelling farts

You are giving me hope, user. Thank you.

>are her time

I'm scared to be trapped on a Facebook girl routine.

>retained so much
this is really what gets me. it's not like i don't process what i read, but i'm only human. short of taking notes (which maybe i should do) i have no idea how he can recall so much knowledge, presumably years after having read a thing.
