The mental bit is possibly related to Joel Spolsky's {smart, not-smart} X {gets things done, doesn't} analysis [1] >People who are Smart but don’t Get Things Done often have PhDs and work in big companies where nobody listens to them because they are completely impractical. ... Also, the ADHD thing of course. Definitely I'd like to get more done, and for my mind and body to hurt less, even if it costs me some IQ points. So I experiment with neotropics: cold black coffee in the mornings and magnesium taurate at night for example. Also interval training of course: swimming 40 x 25 metres on the 1 minute works for me. Plus sun-bathing for mood when possible. [1] https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/10/25/the-guerrilla-guide-to-interviewing-version-30/ https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/10/25/the-guerrilla-guid...
