can someone give me tips on how to work 10 hours a day

Don't work 10 hours per day if there's no reason for. If you work in a job that requires to work 10 hours per day, quit this job. If you really want something or are passionate with something then you will work 10 hours per day without difficulties.

Take modafinil. I used to do 4 hours of meditation + 8 hours of studying while on it.

Isn't it just a choice?

What is stopping you from working 10 hours a day right now if that is what you want to do?

Set the timer to go off 10hrs after you start working.

A very strong vision helps. That you really want more than anything. And then having very high confidence that you can do it 

Then implementing the right habits. That help you manifest that 

There are some good productivity courses online that you can try. Just make sure they are quality ones

How to uproot the baser drives and act like a robot?

The simplest strategy that comes to mind is that of David Goggins: just quit being a bitch and do it. lol.

But it doesn't work like that for most people - Goggins has a unique motivational structure.

Some of the things involved are energy management, habit removal and formation, inertia, entropy, motivation, interpretation. Each of these play a role in why you can't just behave like a robot.

People get this idea that they can override all that and just be like Goggins if they only had the right perspective, but it's not that simple. 

Maybe the real question is something like: How can you want to work 10 hours a day?

I think energy, habits, and interpretation are the levers, but it's very complicated and each person would need a tailored strategy.

Another strategy would be instead of trying to force behavior, design systems that turn you into the person you want to become over time. That's probably best for most people.

Self-help often fails because loads spike all at once and makes people crash and burn, which opens the floodgates and everything they've been trying to keep out comes rushing back in. So maybe implement change very slowly, such that you barely perceive any agitation from the changes.

Also, when you do change, be careful not to associate it with your identity, like "I'm someone who works 10 hours a day". This increases load. Now if you miss a day, it's not just a missed day, it's an identity threat. This is subtle but I think it's a big reason for failure.

No matter your strategy, I think you need ample, clean energy. If you're running on fumes, stressed, or depressed, the whole pursuit will be a neurotic nightmare.

What's your biggest block? 

Energy, focus, willpower? 

They can all be tied. But sometimes the body wont co-operate, other times it is mind activity interferening
