So to mean it literally, it changed some literal game you were playing. What game did it change and how?

- zhynn 5y agoMy game was: - follow my curiosity - take advantage of times when my curiosity and focus aligned with work - manage the anxiety that came as a consequence of focusing on things I shouldn't be. My new game is: - channel my curiosity to solve relevant problems (get distracted sometimes, but not near as much as I used to) - since I am more in control of my own focus, my anxiety is dramatically reduced, so I don't require as aggressive management of it as I used to (binge sessions to decompress, chemicals (alcohol, nicotine), meditation and breath practice. I still do the meditation and breathing, as I like it and feel like it is a net positive, but I don't need it to tame the demons.

- tgaj 5y agoI think is important to add that being able to control someone's focus is a skill that is necessary for everything in life. It's not just about work. It's the whole life - work, education, socialising, even recreation (travelling was a hell for me before stimulants, every minute trying to focus on not lose tickets, money, baggage)
