I feel this lol

I've seen medication that can help with ADHD without necessarily having strain on the heart such as Semax - the problem being that it costs tons of money. There are also basic factors that can help you such as exercice and sleep. You can find them on PubMed and Reddit.

I've also found Beeminder+Toggl Track to help me get the initial boost to work even when unmedicated. It's a software combination that will make you pay e.g. 5€ if you don't work at least X hours today.

At small doses it's exciting, but depressing at high ones ;)

(I've spent +100€ on Beeminder but the ROI is wildly positive)
