Posted to The Terrible Truth About Modafinil, in reply to Mike Rundle , Nov 27, 2017 Similar experience as you, though I take it only once a week as a wakefulness/alertness backup.
Super handy those times when you have to be productive and had a bad night's sleep before OR needing to be alert later in the evening (e.g. driving).

Posted to Reaping the Benefits of Impostor's Syndrome, Jun 23, 2017 ^ Impostor's Syndrome gets talked about a lot, especially with newer designers and those transitioning into the field. Hell, I still deal with it on a daily basis, but I've found a way to manage it more effectively.
My approach to impostor's syndrome broken down in this article. Friends on my personal network seemed to enjoy it, so I'm showing it hear (eek!) with the bigger DN community <3
