Something like this.

advanced mode: gracian, schopenhauer's parerga, bushido, hagakure

>no chart thread

as a terminally online brainfried internet addict I can only say that the best thing you can do is get rid of your smartphone/ipad and dramatically reduce you access to internet linked devices (sell them)

bookswise I would recommend to start with pic related

Im going to isolate myself from the internet and I will go through pic related

Also will preload a shitload of tate videos because I realised he is actually more closer to the nietzschen concept of the Übermensch than I and every poster on this board will ever be, espiecially after reading this passage
>"[....] er ist aber auch ein Ideal für jeden, der Macht über sich selbst gewinnen und seine Tugenden pflegen und entfalten will, der schöpferisch ist und auf der ganzen Klaviatur des menschlichen Denkvermögens, der Phantasie und Einbildungskraft zu spielen weiß."
from Genealogie der Moral im really fascinated how he unintentionally manages to catch the Kerngedanke of this idea

Is pic related actually a decent/legit chart of is it a meme?
I have been a neet for some months but managed to larp myself through a job interview and now I need to completly change my habits/routines and get rid of the bad ones like browsing the web for hours/going to bed at 4 a.m.

We're trying to tell you that your actions and habits have an effect on your thoughts and attention span. When you browse and scroll 4chan or social media all day, you're constantly making your brain get addicted to that dopamine. The act of scrolling becomes instant gratification. That's why ADHD is so over diagnosed now, it's a problem with the youth becoming addicted to that kind of instant gratification.

What you can do is start breaking away from those habits and stop making shitty threads/scrolling 4chan, it doesn't have to be in an instant, just work through it. Also start exercising and having a good diet, your physical fitness is linked to the state of your mind.

You have allowed the attention economy to fuck your attention span. It's fine and increasingly common. Learn to unfuck yourself.

Atomic habits wasn't bad

I'm not a fan of reading entire book charts since I don't believe that every book mentioned in said chart is worth the read but is rather there to fill up space. Even if all the books are of value I don't want to spend too much time on something I only want to read to help me with a certain aspect of my life and that's why I'm asking out of these 8 books which 1 or 2 are the best to read when it comes to focus.

Although I'm not diagnosed and am afraid to even attempt at identifying my own mental health I've realised, ever since I started taking my education seriously, that I have issues with sitting down. I'm in college right now and at times when I'm studying I randomly stand up and start pacing around my room before snapping myself out of my awoke sleep walk and get back to business. this happens often and I don't always stand up. I don't want to run too far with this. I remember once a couple of years ago I got into a debate with a user on discord and he tasked me with responding to a website link arguing for an arminian interpetararion of romans 9. In my anger fueled rage I got off my laptop and got on to my computer and started typing away. I expected the response to no be too long. Perhaps a paragraph or a page but I ended up writing 4 pages, roughly 3000+ words, on microsoft word and I was amazed at myself.

To be fair though even then I occasionally stood up and started pacing for no reason but I much more quickly snapped out of it.

Sorry about the blog post but I'm looking for a good book that will help me with my focus. I'm aware of carl newport's book but apparently he only discusses getting rid of distractions but I feel as though that's only a part of the puzzle. What 1 or 2 books would you recommend from this list to help with my issue or if you can think of a better one then please do recommend that one.

sure, deep work gets recommended a lot in improover threads
