Post Adderall – Year of the Motivational Famine

Filed under: Adderall — Anthony @ 6:06 am

So it’s been about a year since I said goodbye to Adderall. And it has been one @%^@%! boring year. Every now and then I manage to get caught up in something for a few days – but never have the oomph to follow through and really create. Oh how I miss my old productive self.

I’ve come to the painful conclusion that I might actually have to go through an unpleasant re-training process. My brain became so accustomed to effortlessly cruising along, fueled by the little magical orange candy for $30/month, that it seems to have forgotten what real effort is. Now I mentally recoil at the thought of making myself DO something.

So I haven’t  spontaneously re-awakened after a year (@#%$!); I guess it’s time to be systematic about it. Set some goals or something (recoil! recoil! recoil!).
