I have been building an e-commerce website[1] from scracth (I know I could have used shopify or similar but I wanted to learn the ins and outs) to sell motivational posters. Tried a few ads but seems like there is no market for this kind of posters. Probably shutting it down soon....

Could you tell a little bit more about ritalin?
I mean there are a lot of side effects, which might be not worth it. I also have a lot of trouble to focus, on stuff that are not interesting, for longer than 30min, and although i have not been diagnosed with TDAH, i have been thinking about trying out some meds.
