How can I get my mind to shut up and stop thinking of so many questions?

It's interfering with my studying.

And i have to post them - otherwise I'm then going to get obsessed over which questions I've forgotten, which then distracts me even worse since I don't have closure over them.

tynamite's avatar I wish I knew. What goes on in your head? You have a hyperactive imagination. Whatever are you going to do with yourself? You think too much. Just think less.

Update

I'm the person who doesn't think. Most of the time I am thinking of nothing. What I say you should do, is pay money to ban yourself from Quora. You'll have to setup parental controls once you've done this. If you break the ban, you have to pay double the money. It can't stop you being compulsive, but it can stop you from acting on your compulsive answers.

2nd Update

Do and think things that will increase the amount of white noise in your head. You'll know what they are. It will therefore decrease the signal that is going on.

3rd Update

There is a website, app, and youtube chanel called MyNoise that allows you to create your own noise so you can concentrate better.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
