At university I would study for my mechanical engineering degree for 10 hours a day, including weekends. Found a strategy that worked and got grades that I was happy with. It’s important to note though this schedule only works for a few weeks maximum. After that burnout will set in. Best to do this for exam season only from an academic perspective. Make the work work for you!
@@-VinhKhang_yearsago it’s not possible to focus for 10 hours straight. Anyone who says so is lying lol. Productivity for the average person will start to fall off after 3-4 hours if I remember. Anything past 6-7 hours is going to give you minimal returns. Think of it like working out, people work out for 1-2 hours max, anything over that and it’s junk volume, simply fatiguing your muscles. What I do is 3-4 hour sessions two times a day, with 5-10 min breaks when I start to lose focus. I have a 3.96 GPA so it’s working so far
@ 50 mins working then 10 mins rest. If that doesn’t work try 25 mins work and 5 mins rest. Yeah I couldn’t do two hours straight (unless it is a really interesting CAD problem) :)
Awesome video man, thanks for sharing. I really like the point about how problems being too challenging can lead to distractions, since I feel like this is much more prevalent in the professional world where there aren't answers in the back of the textbook or a professor/TA to help you. Do you have any videos/advice on how to navigate novel problems by yourself?

I'm burnt out and found myself struggling to focus even for 2 hours. should I take a break ? 10 hours for you sounds like a dream I would love to try
