Due to my current condition. I feel that I could do more both for myself and the world but unfortunately motivation plays a big role or otherwise I have to trick myself into feeling stressed in order to do things like work that might be boring or feeling observer.

So many reasons: absorb information faster; improve spatial visualization; motivation, intrinsic motivation hacking ; simulations...etc

Give me the code to my brain and let me edit it, with version control please :D

Have you ever considered or tried nootropics before?

Nootropics may help with stimulation, as well as memory and cognition in general. There is a whole community dedicated to it with effective stacks.

meditation, if you want to try a drug free approach.

Make it simple. Stare at a clock with a big second hand. Take one breath every 15 seconds. Then, after a minute or so, push it out to 20 seconds, then one every 30 seconds.

For the 30, my pattern tends to stabilize on inhale for 5-7, hold for 5-7, and then a slow exhale. I find that after the first exhale, if I give a little push I can get more air out of my lungs.

Do this once a day, 7-10 minutes session, for a week, and see if things aren't a little different.

The problem is that it would also let others edit your brain. Even indirectly.

You can do that already, it is called behavior modification. :P And medications!
