MPH enabled me to focus on tasks indefinitely, but i feel zombified and usually feel less creative when approaching things requiring critical thought. amphetamines feel a lot less foggy and generally make me enjoy whatever i'm doing more, which is a big component of sustain attention
i've taken to taking methamphetamine because i'm too poor and distrustful to see a psychiatrist and get an adderall script. obviously you have to be careful and establish a clear boundary between utilitarian and recreational use.
i don't think its improved my performance in classes, which was already good prior. mainly, it's helped give me more initiative and confidence to take on additional projects which i likely wouldn't have otherwise.

if you're still in college, my advice is to just learn stress management techniques, get adequate sleep, and avoid smoking weed or drinking excessively. i find those things affect my academic performance way more than presence or absence of stimulants. routine is nice, but i find it only helps insofar as it promotes good sleep hygiene. also take all of your notes on paper
