Spot on. I found that Vyvance (sp? basically long release Adderall) was great for helping me stay on task far longer than I normally could, but in no way helped me pick the right task to stay on. :-)

It's no magic bullet; I still need to self discipline to pick the right things to work on. FWIW, I pretty heavily rely on todo lists for this.



I've had a similar experience using ritalin. If I have a clear task, I will feel a pressing need to execute that task.

If I don't have a clear task, I will procrastinate even harder.
