Productivity enhancing drugs

This might sound weird, but drinking buttered coffee is amazing for focus. I tried it for weight loss since it's a killer appetite suppressant, but a huge side effect was prolonged focus. I would drink 1 cup in the morning and would work for 6 hours straight without needing food or breaks. The effects wore off after 3-4 months, but if you need help right now I would suggest trying. Just Google buttered coffee, it's crazy but it works.

This is really tasty. I haven't noticed any increased focus, no more than normal coffee gives me. But it makes it taste pretty delicious. I drink it black otherwise and it gets old.
 


Love these threads, lots of good stuff here.

+1 for nootropics, takes some time to find proper dosing though so always buy bulk and measure. Also try stacking (ie piracetam & choline)

I know a lot of us here loved the orginal Jack3d (DMAA1,3 mostly) - fortunately one company (hi-tech) has been fighting this and started pumping out DMAA1,3 products again.. including a complete clone of of Jack3d called Jack'd.

As others have said diet/exercise/lifestyle generally make the most difference, not drugs/supplements.
 
As an avid "productivity enhancing" reader, ayzo pretty much hit the nail on the head.
I'd like to add the Caffeine/L-Theanine combo works wonders for many, including myself. The issue with taking any supplement or drug is that if you're not already pushing your natural limitations, they won't give you much of an edge.
 
I've tried a quarter of a 150ug tab

That would be roughly the dosage i would recommend. At around 25 mics, there is no psychedelic effect yet a quite strong stimulation and enhanced verbal fluidity. I don't know, it kinda opens up a part of your brain that wasn't as accessible before.

Intermittent fasting is why I started drinking buttered coffee. It worked well for a few months.

PErhaps you are just accustomed to operating on a higher level now ...
 
You won't believe this but eliminating carbs from diet ie..<50 a day, has been like a fog being lifted. This has provided a sense of clarity, and productivity of which I have not been able to replicate with any substance.

Ketosis is awesome. I haven't tried modafanil but the effects sound similar, MCT oil or coconut oil are also good for this.
 
Low dose LSD has interesting potential. Low enough dose to not induce psychedelic effects. Plenty of reading available on it if you google.

I've tried a quarter of a 150ug tab which just made me feel great, a third was getting into psychedelic territory.

From my experimentation with a third, it massively enhanced my pattern recognition, I was looking at geometric trippy patterns and if I focused on a particular shape say a triangle, then all the triangles in the picture would appear to just pop out at me, likewise with a square etc. That's an obvious example, but I'm sure it has the same effect on other mental thoughts. Unfortunately a third was getting too trippy for me to focus on anything. A quarter is probably a safer dose.

I'm quite sure that's what LSD does to your visual cortex, it's like now if you look up at a cloud your mind will try and find a pattern in it, then you say 'oh it looks like a WF member coning himself'. LSD increases that massively (depending on your dosage). If you go far enough with the dosage, like I did when I first tried it... I saw ancient aztec carvings in the woodgrain pattern of my floorboards. That's too far to be useful unless you're an artist or something. If you're trying to find a pattern in your shitty 'you won't believe what this 5th grader makes a week' ads or make obscure connections between thoughts, a sub-perceptual dose could be an interesting boost.

microdosing psilocybin also does wonders & is significantly easier to get your hands on

Adrafinil is good. It converts to Modafinil I also do some of the racetams also
It will also jack up your liver & makes your urine smell weird hence why Modafinil was invented. I'm not saying it isnt good or doesnt work, just use it with caution. Adrafinil - Scientific Review on Usage, Dosage, Side Effects | Examine.com
 
I wouldn't microdose mushrooms for produtivity. Perhaps for mood enhancement but unlike LSD, mushrooms have no stimulating effect (at least not for me).

Ketosis is awesome.

Have you also noticed a ton of extra energy and a very noticable mood boost ?

I'm going to do a keto diet again now that I'm thinking about it. I remember last time, I was taking a couple spoonfuls of MCT oil each day.

What I noticed most was that I needed a lot less sleep, and didn't need an alarm clock to wake up. I wasn't trying for ketosis when it happened. I actually thought it was an effect from the MCT oil until I did more research.
 
It's like Christmas all over again

didn't know ceretropic sold those in droppers. Will check it out the next time i buy noopept and l-theanine.

Yep it's pretty great

I had the noopept powder from lfitmode but it's a pain in the ass to dose with that blue scoop they give you, this is much easier IMO and hits just as good. I've tried l-thanine before and didn't like it because it made me sleepy, so does this one.
 
Coffee works fine for me right now. I take a nap in the afternoon after an 8 hour work, so I'm energized for some extra work at night. Sometimes I also drink coffee at night if I my body, actually, if my brain needs it. :food-smiley-010:
 
Do you know what the difference between DHEA & DMAE is?

Off the shelf supplements:

DMAE: $8 for 100 capsules on amazon, it's not adderall but it does give a nice boost that lasts about 4-6 hours.​
 
Modafinil is the fucking shit. 200mg is so insane.

400mg and you are def staying awake for 35+ hours no sleep just in grind mode.

600mg is what they give pilots in order to allow them to fly 30+ hour missions.
