Caffeine by itself gives me jitters. I like to combine it with theanine to cancel out the jitters and get me in a flow-ey state. Also Lions's Mane mushroom supplements work wonders and apparently causes neurogenesis which is what you want in any creative field or any field that requires you to solve puzzles for a living, or just doing it just for fun.

Do you feel caffeine+theanine can sustain a relaxed, obsession-less focus indefinitely or does tolerance creep in? I'm also curious if you observe the same 'magnifier' boost / 'peripheral vision' loss effect I described. Lion's mane was on my watchlist for a long time now, thanks for sharing. Niacin was on my list as well, and I might just use the NMN kind (together with TMG), from which, based on what I've read since ~2020, everyone over 30 would greatly benefit, especially if they don't engage in exercise/starvation/thermal shocks (whose effects already include those of NMN). I'm actually planning to make my own supplement, if I'll ever find the time.. For anyone seeing this, here's what I'd put in it, based on my own continuous research since 2017: Core pill: - Lion's mane - Niacin (maybe NMN+TMG) - L-theanine - Ginkgo 2nd pill: - Omega3 (500mg in total of EPA+DHA) + D3 (600UI) + K2 (100mcg) 3rd pill: - Collagen & hyaluronic acid (skin & joints) - Vit C 500mg (helps with collagen, but also critical in many other systems) 4th pill: - B12 (cyano) sublingual 1000mcg
