How much and how close ? Kik jeremymaddenboss <| sep |> that ' s because Native Americans don ' t real after 1700 <| sep |> Keep experimenting , you will notice that it ' s excellent for forming habits . Like , take it everyday at the same hour for one week , and do a specific task half an hour later . For example , studying a foreign language . After one week of this stop using nicotine but keep up the habit . I find it to be much more deeply ingrained than it usually would be within a week . It also seems to make me more methodical and organized at work but it ' s not stimulatory like caffeine is , just clarifying if that makes sense . I am using gum form and I concur to the absence of withdrawal so far . I usually take it one or two days a week if I am looking for some performance enhancement , one week onone week off if I ' m trying to ingrain habits . Compared to stimulants like caffeine and modafinil it has the additional advantage of not fucking up your circadian cycle if you take it in the afternoon . Plus it ' s widely accessible and cheap so yeah , very nice substance although not completely harmless .
