> If anything, I feel ever so slightly “dumber” on them. They dull my creative thinking and in return, I gain a bit of motivation. It does nothing to my willpower. So I still need to want xyz thing bad, but it makes the act of doing that more fulfilling. Even if it’s a waste of my time I also feel "dumber" while on ritalin, but at the end of the day the job gets done. Also a lot of frustrating stuff, the kind of stuff that would easily derail me, just becomes easy to overcome. Progress is just happens, but you can also be motivated to do dumb/useless work, for stimulants dosage is key.
