I feel mentally exhausted but can't afford to sleep right now.

  1. Consume modafinil.
  2. Replenish choline (throw in some 'racetam for good measure.)
  3. Sprint.
  4. Eat food.
  5. Repeat step 1 as long as necessary.

I'm procrastinating on task X.

  1. Consume modafinil. (To boost executive function and lower perceived effort of tasks in general.)

I don't want to get out of bed, but I should.

  1. Consume modafinil.

I am feeling run down from pushing myself too hard and consuming too much modafinil.

  1. Consume less modafinil.
  2. Sleep.
  3. Self modify to respond to all instances of "But I can't afford sleep right now" with "Yes I can!"
