Sounds like it might be a good source of raw materials, if not a finished product per se. The lack of optimization is interesting though. Are you able to focus on large projects just as well as small ones (and you’re just picking randomly), or is there a detectable upper threshold in the complexity of what you can engage with?
I’ll be sure and try this out myself soon. Thanks for reporting on it!
I think I would need to first try my hand at a complex project to be able to answer your question; my ordinary life hasn’t demanded anything of the kind from me lately. And anyhow, even so I couldn’t make sure that the real bottleneck is my power of focus; generally poor organizational capability seems a likelier culprit for potential failure. Right now, only trying to assemble a syllabus for my math studies is giving me headaches; there are too many things to study and I should have been done with them three years ago anyway.
Presumably I select activities according to personal interest and relevance to me, rather than according to task complexity or my long-term best interest. The data I’ve been compulsively analyzing and computing helps me answer questions I’m very interested in, although it may not be the kind of information I should be focusing upon.
Good luck, but remember that the kind of problems that are treatable with MAO-B inhibitors involve only your baseline capacity for desiring/pursuing anything at all. That may or may not be the reason you’re not getting as much done as you would want to. If you’re generally, how should I say, not much of a wanter, then curcumin will help you, but otherwise (if your lack of motivation is not unselective) I wouldn’t bet on it.
