- The author hasn't missed a morning workout in almost a decade, viewing it as an addiction rather than discipline.
- Many founders discuss being diagnosed with ADHD as adults and finding Vyvanse helpful.
- Taking Vyvanse can reveal ADHD: clarity and calmness vs. feeling like you're on methamphetamines if you don't have ADHD.
- Nicotine has a similar but short-lived effect compared to ADHD medication.

- The author's life patterns stem from an addictive personality driven by obsessions, not discipline.
