What a privilege to be anxious about your children - many have none. What a privilege to be tired after a workout - many are bedridden. What a privilege to be busy running your business - many are unemployed.
Reframe everything that stresses you.
Just say you have a dopamine addiction. Gaming for cognitive performance is terrible advice.
Cognitive performance:
- Sleep 8hrs (biggest factor)
- Zone 2 cardio (BDNF & cerebral blood flow)
- Insulin sensitivity (what causes brain fog)
You’re way better off sleeping extra 10 hours a week than gaming. By far.
Then, take it to the next level (stack):
1. Modafinil
2. Caffeine
3. Taladafil (brain blood flow)
Or nuclear level:
- Cerebrolysin
If you are 30+, consider incorporating video games into your routine.
As individuals move into their 30s and beyond, certain cognitive functions, particularly processing speed and working memory, may gradually begin to decline.
Research in cognitive psychology suggests that engaging in interactive digital games can help stimulate neural pathways, improve reaction time, enhance problem-solving ability, and support cognitive flexibility.

Tbf maxxing claude automation for work + peptides for health and fitness + modafinil & caffeine mornings does feel like operating at 200% in all areas.
