Do you think that it might be harmful to discourage the use of a medication for everyone simply because the medication affected you in a way that you didn’t find helpful?
I have severe ADHD and Adderall has played a huge role in allowing me to do things (like building a successful career as a software engineer) that never would have been possible without it.
My knee-jerk reaction is “Wow, that’s a lot of work. Where does this person find the time??” But then I realize that I now work from home without the hour-long morning routine (plus commute) and could easily make the time if I’d just limit my pre-standup content-binge.
Going to give a similar self-care routine a try! Thanks for sharing this.
