This study makes me think my dose may be too high. When my Adderall hits in the morning, EVERYTHING seems like a good idea. Then, I end up spending two hours writing the perfect email.
It’s definitely possible to reduce this threshold too far! If you do you’ll end up jumping into the first project you come across and tackling it with gusto, whether or not it’s high value. Having too much caffeine with Adderall makes this effect much worse for me.
A little bit of laziness is good! You need to be able to power through the tedious stuff you have to do in life, but you never want to stop thinking, “this is tedious and boring, do I really have to do this? Is there a better way?”
It’s easy to lose the forest for the trees.
