"I need a wife." Isn't it true? So many of us need what the old-style wives provided - someone to keep track of things for us & do the small mundane things we're so good at forgetting.
It's not just the kick starting I have trouble with but the 'compulsion' to want to switch to other tasks when I'm getting bored(?), tired(?), need new mental stimulation(?) even if I'm right in the middle of something. If I don't get hyperfocused or it's not something I can multitask at, I want to drop what I'm doing & do something else. It's something that almost consumes my focus & interferes with what I'm doing now - I still haven't found anything that nicely clears my mind so I can do one thing at a time calmly. Sometimes my mind wants my body to be able to do a dozen things at a time.
The only time I've been able to is when I've taken a BZD & Dexedrine, along with my usual adrafinil. I feel very calm, focused, & attentive. But it's not something that a doctor wants to prescribe for regular use even if he absolutely knew the patient wouldn't abuse it.
