In my case I never use technology for studying . From class 11th to 12th I have made only hand written notes and literalyy have a stack of 20-25 copies of PCM 
…
I think you should follow pen paper method it’s effective.

There is a simple rule I follow, To try out everything. If it doesn’t suits me. Fine. But atleast I tried it out and cleared it. And That feeling that I am missing something important reduces.

That’s a good idea. Impress me with that new thread about anki, I might give it a shot 
. But I think I have figured out how can I be successful in some time but may be anki will add value to my plan let’s see.

Register and notebooks mixed 
. My handwriting is bad and a lot bigger , only me and Board examiner could understand my writing 
I told one of my friend about this, He said tum jaise log competition badha rhe hai…bata mat kisi ko iske baare me…India me waise bhi selection ratio itna kam hai…tum aur badhao competition. He used it and He has improved a lot. I don’t agree with him. It’s just like if you help other guys, He might remind you that you told him about it and You are not doing it. So, that pushes ourselves.
I believe the importance of Light is only felt when you come out of darkness. Struggling through what’s the best way to study. Now, I have finally found out. Just lacking discipline.

Yup, but i agree with @rewire_user too, anki might be helpful for memorising stuff longterm. But it won’t do anything if someone is less disciplined. People have succeeded before anki too .

People who are disciplined and determined will keep becoming successful brother, This is for those who find it difficult to sit and study. There is a concept called Friction. The more friction you create in your study. The harder it will get. If keep pen inside the page which you wanna study next day the night before. This might seem a small change but this has reduced friction for you to sit down and study. Could have given a better example.
This is what Anki is…Sit down and Just keep on learning the cards. Creating cards can be a little bit hard. But keep the instrumental and ost as the background music. And just keep going.

I get your point , as I am reading deep work I am getting more and more independent from technology for studying purpose. Even listening to music while studying leads to less focus level, because it is multitasking and focussing on two tasks at a time is not the right way. But I am open to the point that different things work for different people.

I really admire that Book brother, And I really appreciate doing Deep work. But as You know, We two are on a completely different level. You might not agree but because of nofap. Your self control, Your focus and concentration span has improved. Which gives you an edge while doing deep work. You were able to stay away from your phone for 3 days. I also decided to do detox but I failed.
since, I am still struggling with it. My reward system is messed up. That’s reward system gives us motivation to do something. I have experienced it when I was in high streak. And Hence Proved, different things work for different people (different situation).

23rd May update
Woke up around 9:30 , I slept late at night, got stuck watching B99. Then after freshening up I started working out, I didn’t run as I decided but I did about 300 skipping, 200 steps jogging, some sprinting and stretching for warmup, then I did day 2 of back, chest, arms, abs, legs 30 day series and after that I did day 15 of the 30 day fat burning cardio series, just picked a day randomly , didn’t pick one from the end because I didn’t have enough time and also didn’t want that long cardio . There was one exercise in the cardio circuit, explosive pushups which I found a bit difficult, couldn’t get the form right but I did it anyway. It was a good workout. The whole routine took me just about 1 hour. Then I did kriya yoga meditation, affirmations, visualisation, reading, had brunch, paranthas as planned and hence the big workout , I ate 5 paranthas 
, then I played basketball with my sister, it was a pretty good day till then, but then I again got stuck watching B99 , even skipped my afternoon nap , then In the evening spent a lot of time on RC, then studied about 1.5 hours in total today 
, some before and some after dinner, then I got a call from my friend who has just started preparing for gate, he had some doubts in a subject I am good at, I cleared all his doubts like a pro , and it felt good. Then I came here. Now I’ll sleep probably feeling kind of sleep deprived. Tomorrow will focus mostly on studies, not just tomorrow, next 3 days also after that I have to do some intense study because the study battle is gonna be there, I’ll take tomorrow lightly and then give my all in next 3 days.
