Intermittent fasting, not eating during the most intense work hours in general. Makes a huge difference. Weird how no one has mentioned this yet

Intermittent fasting is HUGE for me. 16 hours a day then a 24 hour once a week.

I’m trying Modafinil for the first time in my life right now lol
What a timing.
Other than that, caffeine and L-theanine combo is pretty great

You can try L-tyrosine too. I took it for like 3 days straight and in the 3rd day it felt like I was on a very very clean MDMA high with crazy concentration. Literally felt like limitless.
Took it for. Couple of days after that and started to get irritable, angry and a little depressed. I stopped taking it and was fine after 1-2 days. It may have happened because I didn’t take 1:10 ratio of 5-htp with it (I also didn’t cycle it).

Was interesting for sure.
I think the best I could explain it is that it ‘blocks’ tiredness and impulse decisions like checking social media etc. It doesn’t give you energy per se, I didn’t feel anything that I would consider ‘immense focus’ but I just didn’t get tired or distracted for a good 6 to 8 hours. Also didn’t get hungry until that. Then after having food and socialising a bit I felt like I could easily go back to work to continue.
I should have taken it earlier in the day though, couldn’t really sleep the next night and it fucked up my sleep rhythm a bit because of that. (took it at noon)
I probably wouldn’t take it daily since it was a bit unnatural for me but I could see myself taking some every now and then to finish a project etc.

How about going outside for a run? I’ve found that running in the morning makes me super alert for the rest of the day

having tried almost everything out there the best results i got where from taking muscletech sx7 pre but i finally realized it was causing me to have pretty bad acne, my speculation was the artificial sugar it contained, sucralose. Anyways now i drink about 16oz of coffee a day. I never really liked caffeine pills unless i was at school studying for more than 5hrs calculus or if i was on my way to play poker. Only tried before working out a handful of times and didnt like it.

idk, drinking coffe doesnt do it for me, I need to combine it with a pill
however, its not good for thinking, its better to do tasks focused for a long time when doing that, at least thats what I think

Have you tried Ashwaghanda yet? You can get them at GNC they help with cognitive and give you energy. Personally didn’t do too much for me and I tried different brands/dosages.
