Pick up the book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience.
Attention is in your mind, not in a pill.
-------------------- Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis

I was gonna suggest adderall, but you already got that. Dexadrine is like adderall, but instead of being mostly levo-amphetamine, it's mostly dextro-amphetamine. It seems to take less than adderall to get me motivated, without so much of the speedy feeling.

Drugs are not a good answer. Mindfulness is what you need.

Amphetamines are not going to work and this is why-
Although it is adderall, or dexedrine, it is still amphetamine, meaning you can easily become dependent on it to complete work and tasks. If you think the dependency is not a bad thing because you will have it everyday, then think about tolerance. Taking the same dose everyday is only going to help for so long. You will eventually need to up your dose. And you will have to keep uping your dose. And amphetamines can fuck your brain when you have high doses daily. So try to not depend off of some fucking pill to focus and concentrate, its all about self discipline, if you want to focus you will focus. Amphetamines is the easy, and dangerous way out.
-------------------- "If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise." - Aldous Huxley GIVE ME OPIATES OR GIVE ME DEATH
