Learn to ride the waves. We have a different rhythm of existence. You can't fight the cycle, but you can learn to work with it.

Some people are marathon runners, but we are sprinters. The trick is to break down marathons into many sprints, and take breaks by switching your marathons.

Just pick half a dozen things your meta-self wants to work on and stick with it. Instead of a bit of everything, we do a lot of everything, but one thing at a time.

Went to your first 2 links. Results came.

The later one did say that I have ADHD. the first one gave a chart.

Since you suggested it, I want to give you the results in your inbox and not here in public.. Give me permission in your next reply. I'm hoping you can guide me a bit further based on the result.

And yeah, I will not take medicines recklessly. I just happen to know specifically about adderall through some tv series, that's why I assumed you'd know and I asked you about it.
