You can ask productivity and self improvement questions related to programming or computers on software engineering stack exchange .

See for example this question ,
https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/141860/should-i-be-concerned-that-i-cant-program-very-fast-without-google

Why can we not have such tags on physics stack exchange?

I am a very slow and inefficient learner ,thats why even if I have great love for physics ,I get average or below average grades.I would also like to improve my problem solving skills .

May be there are other people like me having the same problems ,they can get help on physics SE.

So why not such tags?

In my eyes, physics.SE is about the science of physics, not about the practice of physics. As such, questions about study advice, career advice, personal productivity when studying physics, etc. are off-topic here. We don't have tags for the things you ask about because having tags for questions which will almost surely be off-topic is not useful.

It should be this way because all of these questions are inherently opinion-based - what works for me need not work for you, and every personal situation has more deciding factors than one can reasonably communicate through a single SE question. I come here in order to ask and answer questions about physics, and allowing questions about things not related to the science of physics as such would decrease the signal-to-noise ratio considerably from my viewpoint.
