Hi everyone, Years ago I was on a Ritalin generic, and it ended up just being like strapping a jet engine to a bicycle: couldn’t focus at all.
And now I’m trying it again, but I’m on Concerta. Was on a starter dose, didn’t feel anything, now I’m on double that dose from today, waiting to see if I can feel anything.
How do you know if it’s working?
Imma give you a trick and I might do an actual post on this later but lets see how this goes.
Take your med. Give yoursef at leadt like 40 minutes for it to “kick-in”
Pick a task that really only should and does take like 15-20 minutes that you normally spend days procrastinating to avoid. Order UberEats and use that as the impetus that you want this done by the time it gets there so you can be done with the task and instantly reward and pseudo-reward yourself for a job well-done.
There’s something about this thing like where you invite someone over and your place is a sty but knowing someone is coming over kicks in the adrenaline and desire to save face and somehow you can get it done even if you temporarily resent it and hate the added artificial pressure. It extends
Edit: this also could anecdotally work even if your turnaround time for whatever exceeds the uber but just do best
