[QUOTE="Sargon2112, post: 1348205, member: 16658"] Rest and information detoxing like someone said in an earlier post works best for me. Unplug for a while. I started a new job about 6 weeks ago where I can actually focus on one discipline rather than trying to do 20... and the difference is profound. It took about 4 weeks to shed all the stress and mental "noise" from the old job. Trying to juggle too many things will take a serious toll on your mind. Your brain is like a device, in that it has a processing limit and finite resources. Overload it, and it will start rationing those resources, and what you want to do now will not be on top of its priority list. Regarding things like Adderall and even caffeine; short term gains will likely take a long term toll. Like that device/computer analogy, what is the cost of over-clocking a computer? It doesn't last as long. Pace yourselves! [/QUOTE]
