   I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit this, but Ritalin seems to make me... smarter?

   Not only can I tackle harder math problems that would've overwhelmed me before, but I can do so for longer stretches of time, and the solutions come quicker.

   But also smarter in terms of avoiding stupid things like consuming sugar, eating too much or wasting the entire afternoon on something pointless.

   It makes me very goal seeking in everything I do, and that's something that's been missing before.

      Ritalin has so far helped me...

      - concentrate at work
      - be more thorough
      - be more mindful
      - regulate my mood
      - plan things better
      - recall memories faster
      - carry out mental task lists
      - keep the house clean
      - stick to my budget
      - stick to my diet

      It's a bitch to administer properly, but when you take it right, it instantly makes you remember why you are taking it. (It's rather easy to forget how much sharper it makes you when you haven't taken it yet.)
