I was supposed to do boring life stuff today but I got heavily sidetracked by trying to model a physics problem.
This sort of distraction happens a lot to me, when I’m meant to be doing one chore but drop it and do a different one when I see it needs to be done. Like needing to clean the stove, then noticing the cupboards aren’t clean, and then staying up late cleaning my kitchen from top to bottom. The sort of thing where it’s hard to find motivation but once I do then I’m unstoppable.
I have a friend on adderall, and how he describes that drug it wouldn’t work to help this because it helps you focus, but not necessarily on the right thing. He once took it to finish an assignment and then got fixated on a videogame instead and played it until 5am.
I take that too. I wish there were an even slower release version because I find it makes me great for 4-5 hours and then I get vague again by about 3. And I double dose then I can’t sleep.
Nonetheless it’s literally changed my life. I can’t even begin to describe how positive it’s been for me. Literally it’s changed everything.
I take a second lower dose at about 1pm. It helps push the effect all the way into the evening. But yes - it’s been life changing for me too
