Early in life we learn amazingly fast, but as we transition into adulthood our cognitive development plateaus
Which is a hardware change and you recommend software solutions. The solutions are generally good—they are just general good habits for developing in any field—but it seems to me the answer to this kind of change lies more in nootropics or anti-aging supplements, so chemical / hardware. L-theanine + coffee(in) are always a good start for cracking a tough problem.
(BTW does anyone know what is the closest, in most jurisdictions legal, and mostly safe equivalent to ephedrine? I tried that when I was in the Netherlands when it was still legal and it gave a really big cognitive boost. Reduced appetite and more energy to work out was also a nice bonus. I would occasionally want to use a legal and safer “light version” of that. The last I heard was geranium oil and green coffee beans.)
Theanine is about 1% of the dry weight of tea leaves, so your 150mg pill corresponds to about 15g of tea (7-8 teabags, more or less) which is a lot for most people.

That combination usually goes by the name of “tea”.
That suggests you never tried it. Seriously do - a cup of tea or three does about nothing (for me) a 150mg l-t pill and an average coffeine pill does.

It’s just a dosage difference.
Which jurisdictions? It is legal in the US as Bronkaid. You have to sign for it at a pharmacy, but I have never been turned down for it.
