For a day when I'm working, I consider microdosing LSD if:
- It's going to be a somewhat creative/self-directed day
- Not likely to be a stressful day or a packed schedule
While microdosing my brain will wander a bit more than usual in different directions, which is good under low stress but not helpful under high stress. It can help me focus on work tasks enormously, but doesn't bring me the same rapid-paced obsessive productivity mindset as adderall would.
If I'm working and I know it's going to be a crazy day where I need to get 10 things done and can't afford to procrastinate or be otherwise distracted, I'd prefer adderall because it's more predictable in its effects on my focus.
If I'm not working, I don't consider taking adderall at all (unless I need to be awake for something like an overnight drive).
People should consider modafinil as well in cycling through different types of stimulants, I find it to have less of a physical effect compared to lsd or amphetamines.
