Has anyone ever tried to do this? I just feel so inclined to do stuff when I take tramadolonce a month or less, would it be a good idea to use it to study on the weekends or do opiods affect memory in a negative way?

Why would you take opiates? Their effect is exactly opposite than what you would want
Take stimulants nanon

Do you have ADHD?
Opioids are supposed to have the exact opposite effect from making you want to do stuff if you're neurotypical.

Are you really taking it to get better study or just to have a excuse to use more opioids? I don't know you, but I would be the later is true.
There's much better drug options for study and you know it. See this thread:

I use it way less than once a month, I don't think I'm in the phase where I have to come with excuses.

There's a few possibilities. One is that the tramadol is not positively affecting your ability to study, and you just think it is. Another is that it is, but it's a placebo effect. The third is that the tramadol really is helping, but that it's not related to tramadol being an opioid. Tramadol is a weird drug; it binds to mu-opioid receptors and has the expected effects (e.g. pain relief, euphoria), but unlike most (all?) other opioids, it is also a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. It's possible that tramadol's norepineprine releasing/reuptake inhibition is what's improving your motivation to study.

So, will taking "opiates" help you study? No. Will taking tramadol help you study? Maybe. But, as other nanons have pointed out, if you want motivation to study and focus, there are far better options, like (ar)modafinil or amphetamines. The famous Hungarian mathematician Erdos was a notorious user of amphetamines to improve his mathematical productivity. Stay away from methamphetamine, though, as it is inherently neurotoxic, whereas amphetamines are only neurotoxic in overdose.

But keep in mind that with any drug, you have to pay the piper eventually. Biology sucks like that. If you take opioids for a while, then stop, not only can you experience withdrawal, you'll probably experience hyperalgesia. If you take stimulants for a while, when you stop, you'll be slower, more tired, less motivated, and foggier than you would be if you hadn't taken them at all. Better to eat a clean diet, take exercise, meditate for 20 minutes a day (two 10 minute sessions) and make sure you're getting enough dietary choline and sleep.
