Modafinil what what?!

Ok so one of the guys at work is banging on about nootropics and coding to get into the zone..... Dafuq is he taking that for?
And I thought a cheeky trip was enough to envision the program and become one with the code...... Not that I know.

With Nootropics. (And the usual caffeine, noise cancelling headphones and Spotify)

I just learnt that creatine can apparently serve as a nootropic. I thought this to be odd but apparently it's true.

Not really a Rant but:

My Productivity Method:
1. Nootropics (Nootrobox Daily, Sprint for 6+ hour work/focus periods)
2. Ketogenic Diet (Ridiculous Energy, Amazing Food Choices, No Crashing, No Cheating!)
3. Moderate Exercise
4. Get Lit (Partying) once a month at least, hard liquors.
5. Nicotine (Vaping 6mg) while coding.
6. Caffeine (Bulletproof Coffee)
7. League of Legends breaks.
8. Weekly Cigar Social with other professionals.

Balance Vice with Virtue is a great combination for getting stuff done.

What keeps you going?

Does anyone here use any nootropics, either at work or on personal projects? About to have an extra busy few months and I'm looking for some recommendations.
