I experimented with it as a productivity enhancer and ultimately found it was too much of a happy hamster wheel effect. It makes you feel more productive even if you're not actually doing anything constructive. Just as often it can lead to short sighted bad judgement that is actively destructive because you're just looking for busy work to flip bits for a dopamine rush. I wouldn't recommend it unless you actually need it or at least use it very sparingly and strategically.
