I would just like to ask one thing. Its seems its very easy for OP to be productive, because he’s very intelligent. For example I have an average intelligence, but I would like to get better at math. I started with brain teasers on khan academy, but I couldn’t even complete those on my own, altough the solution was satisfying. I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on how to begin becoming smarter. I mean math is so fun(so are brain teasers), but it’d be great if for once I could solve some problems on my own.
This is a “knowledge builds up on previous knowledge” problem. It’s not that math is fundamentally hard or something a person with normal intelligence can’t achieve.
It’s just a matter of systematically filling the gaps in your knowledge. Some people have wider gaps, others have narrower ones. Past experience counts a lot here.
The ideal posture is starting from the ground. Really, go back to the beginning of high school of you need to (that’s no shame), but make sure you have the fundamentals right (and you expose yourself to a variety of applications/examples/environments).
Message me if you need some sort of step-by-step to kick into action. I’ve been researching this a lot and founded a company in Brazil that gives trainings on how to learn better.

Well, yes, that would actually help quite a lot. What did you have in mind?
I think intelligence and productiveness are inversely correlated.
