I wouldn't say "all the difference in the world". Maybe a slight
difference, but it might even make you more irritable, anxious or
dysphoric. I don't think there is evidence that any drug improves
productivity in any activity in a sustained way, although maybe small
doses of caffeine or amphetamines comes close.
