I struggle to keep going, I lack follow-through.
Got done with my big project (yay) but it could have been quicker. Want to not be tired from willing myself to do stuff.

      Not as much, but if you really need to concentrate on something like cleaning, reading, or coding stimulants absolutely help, and can help build a habit outside of use when used appropriately. If you don’t have ADHD I would recommend staying away from anything with XR (extended release), as it can basically keep you locked in all day.

      However, there is absolutely a risk of addiction, and stimulant addiction (while usually not lethal if you are getting clean supply) can be devastating, as they can override the need to eat and drink and lead to a very unhealthy life style that will shorten your life.

      Stimulants are the drug of the time, though. Meth is for the poor, Adderall and Ritalin for the yuppies, and cocaine for entertainers and the bourgeois.

        override the need to eat

        Yeah who needs Ozempic when you’ve got speed? I’m lucky I love food, so I eat even if I don’t feel hungry.
