+Will be speaking and writing more succinctly than usual - in my blogs

+particularly a big deal (I do enjoy the pseudo-randomness that ensues)
+but I'd like exploring expanding my control of the same.

+A lot of novel additions to my life over the past two years have

+MMA (will begin practicing in the next cycle of expansion).

+
+This is a brief update on the
+[nootropics](https://rajpatil.dev/post/nootropics-init/) post in which
+I initialized my current stack and promised for a review down the
+lane.  
+
+
+I'm back on a controlled dosage of caffeine - 80 mg (dawn) + 80 mg
+(afternoon). Each cup is supplmented with 100 mg of L-theanine and
+also dump in 5+ grams of creatine in the dawn. Both do their job well
+and will continue them this cycle.  
+
+From the last phase, I'm most indifferent to L-tyrosine and dropping
+out of that this cycle. The melatonin did their job well but will
+cycle in magnesium instead this time. That, along with ashwagandha will
+form the backbone of my sleep stack.  
+
+From a physical perspective, jumping rope for 45 mins thrice a week,
+along with an hour long barefoot rush up a small hill - both in golden
+early mornings. That is descent sunlight exposure. Do cycle around
+(have a fat bike) on weekends sometime. Resistance training 6 times a
+week for an hour at dawn. This, I feel, is necessary for I like to
+actively engage with matter around me than just being in my own head
+all the time.  
+
+To put it concisely, physical exertion is mental rest.  
+
+The control this cycle is going to be magnesium and elevated levels of
+cardiovascular training.  
+
+I'll be logging such updates more frequently henceforth and keeping it
+a little more dispassionate and pragmatic than usual.
