Does anyone use (or have tried), supplements that are supposed to help with productivity, procrastination, focus - adaptogens, nootropics, mushrooms that kind of thing? Interested in hearing your experience (and brand). I’m currently unemployed after many years of working, I’m trying to work on my own creative projects but I’m constantly procrastinating and not super motivated.

I am done trying to pretend everything is fine at work. The higher ups on the team kept asking if I’m doing anything fun for the weekend during video calls. I felt the pressure to make something up but I just can’t.

I’m an associate in a busy bankruptcy group (just started after a clerkship) and I’ve started to have to to turn down work because I’m too busy (I don’t tell partners no, but say something along the lines of “I don’t think I’d be able to start on that for a day or two”).

Would it be bad if I change my start date? I proposed to my employer a start date 2 weeks after I quit my job, but now that I think about it, I feel like I need a week to recharge before starting a new job.
