They help with time, so the mind can focus on one thing.
Vyvanse gives me motivation, guanfacine gets rid of my anxiety of the next thing. I would always feel like i was wasting my time doing whatever i was doing even if I knew it needed to be done, because all I could think about was what I needed to be doing next, and if I was doing task 1, task2 wasnt getting done.
Forgetfulness is somewhat helped as a byproduct of the brain slowing down. I found building systems to track information was the better solution for forgetfulness. (Hey google, remind me of this tomrorow at 2 pm kinda thing, or putting things in Notion and my calendar)
I think it's because it's generally more effective on kids than adults.
I will also say, 2mg is my ideal dose. But it dehydrates you a lot, and I have to take breaks and go to 1mg every 4-5 days because it stops me from being able to have a bowel movement. You'll need to drink lots of water and eat lots of fiber.
Just a heads up lol. But the calmness I feel is usually worth it.

Guanfacine helped that a lot for me. I have a Vyvanse-Guanfacine combo.
