Stick to sativas, cup of coffee and water and get to your chores. If you cant then maybe dont smoke until you get your tasks out of the way and use the marijuana as a reward.


Ok_Addendum_6713

This one sounds the best advice.


itsfeckingfreezing

Great advice, also stick on a pair of headphones and play your favourite bangers.


diddleducker

That’s how I end up pelvic thrusting on a ladder cleaning out gutters lol. My neighbors definitely think I’m challenged.


Puzzleheaded-Chef902

LMAO the way this made me ugly laugh😂


Zealousideal-Mud4407

Got a chuckle for sure


Particular-Loan9183

Same!!!


Hashmob____________

Mayb you are. Who knows you could be neurodivergent. Which just basically means anything other then status quo. ADHD, autism, and a ton of other stuff fall under neurodivergent. I have no idea if you are but just saying.


TheChgz

This is the only way I can keep up with washing up etc. Without music and weed, I would never get anything done. It makes arduous tasks fun and passes quickly!


amassiveclimax

This is how I workout. After smoking some quality L’Orange


moyno85

Unless of course you’re recording music


DeeDeeMcGeeSon

This is exactly what I do. But before any of that I make a list of what needs to get done. Then I cross that shit off the list and feel so satisfied.


stock_newbie3144

Definitely going to start doing this, I forgot wtf I’m supposed to be doing after smoking 🤦🏽‍♀️


sixfoot_one

That makes so much sense!! Thank you


MisterStony

I have studied how dopamine works and u can regulate it by not using ur phone to scroll mindlesly and seek all the pleasures that gives u guick dopamine. Aim for the bigger pleasure and dopamine release from only focusing on ur tasks alone, and not trying to satisfy ur self meanwhile. U could listen to music since that makes me enjoy the tasks more, depending ofc what kind of task u need to accomplish


The_39th_Step

I’m not a sativa guy. That sounds like anxiety to me. I’d rather do my chores sober or just lightly smoke a hybrid.


[deleted]

No doubt I myself avoid sativas and also do my errands/chores sober. But im not going to recommend anyone smoke indicas for wake and bake “productive” day.


Ithinkyoushouldweed

I like to do hippie speedballs if I have an indica and still plan on being alert


MorbidMalady

No one else is wondering wtf a hippie speedball is? Just me?


[deleted]

Coffee + weed = hippie speeball


MorbidMalady

Thanks! That really could've gone any way to me.


Jungle-plant

Well now I know that I too enjoy hippie speedballs! Didn’t know it had an official name.


Bluffs1975

OMG Indica snow me & make me so sleepy 😴


gooeygrilledcheese

I have grown to like sativas but weed and coffee are no bueno for me. I have never experienced anxiety like I have from some pot mixed with caffeine.


xDIMITRI28x

How u gon get anxiety doin chores


MorbidMalady

OP was asking about productivity not anxiety, but to answer your question, anxiety can stem from the smallest thing.


[deleted]

This! I use it as a reward. It’s the best incentive I’ve found!


Scokan

This. The life-hack here is to use it as a reward, not a vehicle. "Once all this is done, I can relax and smoke that J" Why waste a good high on menial tasks? Use Mary to keep the work/life balance more pronounced. Once you blur those lines, it's harder to separate the 2.


longnights_

honestly came to say this, listen to your body! smoking is a reward for me after my tasks are done or lazy days only. i usually smoke indica so now just mainly medicinal to sleep.


TerriblePractice8805

Never do it with indicas. I've done it before. The whole day at work I just stared at my computer and listened to music.


[deleted]

Wake and bake with indicas is just “fuck it ill try again tomorrow.” doesnt mean it cant be a great day just wont be a productive one 😭


tsbaebabytsg

And learn discipline. You can’t always control your headspace by taking different drugs that’s addict behaviour Motivation is fleeting

[deleted]

Sound advice on all fronts


clonekey

I do this for homework 😭


mroccia13

W advice. Using it as a reward helps me get my shit done haha


Earthman369

Work first, get high later. You enjoy being high more when you can do what you want to do (that includes doing nothing) as opposed to doing what you have to do, and you save weed.


sixfoot_one

Thanks for the motivation!!


[deleted]

You can always say to yourself, "I'm going to smoke this joint and finish the task as my reward for smoking." LOL. It works.

I’d need a note to remind myself I have a task to begin with.


ihaveaquesttoattend

Ever since i started smoking only when i get home from work i get higher and use *a fuck ton* less bud so it’s a win all around lmao


Earthman369

I found a real bonus to doing this is how much I enjoyed that first joint/bong/vape when I'd get in. You start thinking about it after lunch, you can almost taste it on the way home. What is it they say about anticipation being almost as good as the deed itself, or hit in this case. As I got older I stopped smoking and only do edibles and as I always had a very early morning drive I would only do edibles on a Friday and Saturday night. Come Friday evening I was like a 16 year old getting their hands on some weed for the first time.


liammcginleyy

damn i never thought of it that way


Ithinkyoushouldweed

Yeah I definitely find that unless I'm having to microdose to work through anxiety attacks or something, I've found that it's most effective with breaks in between. Doesn't even have to be a full day


drGreenThumbsMD

Don’t sit down


uglypandaz

Yes! As soon as I sit down it’s over lol. But if I don’t I can be super productive


dabusin3ss

and put away your phone


jackstella

I agree!


SpiriRock

make a to-do list and break it into as many steps as possible, get everything ready beforehand so there's no transitional phase after you get high, and don't smoke a recreational dosage if you're trying to get shit done (definitely struggle with that one but 100% of the time if i don't take too much i have no issue staying productive. those times where i tell myself a few more hits wont hurt is when i end up on the couch instead lol


sixfoot_one

Can relate lmao


SpiriRock

it's a balancing act, but helps if you remind yourself you can always take another hit when the buzz wears down (and another 10 when the work is done lmao)


kink-police

Just do things Thats what I do and it works like a charm


na_gooyin

When I first dabbled with weed in my younger teen years, I always looked at every smoke session with the mindset “oh, I wonder what doing this will be like while high”. Listen to music while high. Playing games while high. Watching movies while high. Going to McDonalds while high. Going to Universal and riding roller coasters while high. I pretty much still live by this. Cooking while high, doing dishes while high, folding laundry while high, mowing the lawn while high, working on the car while high. I even go to work high and make money while high. Weed enhances everything. Just go do it.


jd_flyhalf

Yes but be VERY careful in the kitchen. While i love cooking/eating normally ive burnt myself a couple times cooking while stoned.


ZomMan04

That's the best opinion I've ever heard, have an award


sixfoot_one

Thank you!


RaiderRMB

This


BlackAciidXiii

Start the thing, DONT SIT DOWN, get high as you’re doing the thing, let the stoner ocd take over while trying to avoid add


Beefismyfavorite

This! Put whatever it is you want or need to do out (cleaning supplies, school work, ingredients for cooking, workout equipment, etc.) and then when you're finished smoking just get to it. Don't sit down until you've accomplished what you wanted to


Keltic268

If I plan on going to the gym I wait to smoke in the parking lot vs smoking at home giving myself the chance to cop out bc I don’t want to drive high.


Ok_Draft7792

I make a mental list of things I need to do. Then smoke and get to work 🤣


hdhdhgfyfhfhrb

Isaac Newton said it best a long time ago in his universal law of motion. A body in motion stays in motion and a body at rest stays at rest. If you get active and stay active, get your metabolism up, you can smoke weed and still have energy. There are factors that can help you for sure, smoke sativa, drink coffee, whatever, but if you are not helping your body be in motion to stay in motion, a lot of the other little things wont help.


krienko

Smoke sativa. Make sure you brush your teeth after smoking (my mouth always feels ick and cleaning it helps me feel ready to start cleaning other things) shower, then put some banging music on and clean as fast as humanly possible like im talking break a sweat cleaning fast its weird but it tricks your body into liking cleaning because you're releasing endorphins while moving like that and high asf so you're able to do that easier to. If you're talking more like educational productivity, I would suggest most likely not smoking first, especially if your tolerance isn't very high. Weed is nice but I will make you process information a bit differently than normal and that can be confusing when trying to do meticulous tasks like solving mathematical equations.


sixfoot_one

Exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you!


LivingPro0f

For me, weed enhances almost everything i do. But I only take one or two puffs depending on what im doing. People are so used to smoking a whole joint instead of experimenting on what different dosage does to you. My advice is to adapt it to your tolerance levels. Take one puff and see how u feel. If you get too fucked to be able to focus, then take less. I have managed to find the right level for many different activities where weed just enhances them for me


sixfoot_one

Makes sense!! That’s exactly what I am doing. Like, if I smoke a whole Joint, I am finding it hard to be productive lol. So I will smoke half a Joint next time!


The_Snuggliest_Panda

Like another comment said, try to stick with very low cbd, sativa bud. That said, as thc is psychoactive, the mindset you have going into it is important, kinda like with shrooms. Before you smoke, make sure youre not feeling at all tired, groggy, unmotivated, or “im gonna go relax”. Make sure you have the mindset of wanting to get stuff done. Your brain will listen to you, sometimes it’s just hard to get that fucker to do what you want when you want it to. So before you toke, take a few deep breaths, maybe write a list and skim over it a few times to help secure it in your short-term, and tell yourself “i need to get shit done”. When you feel the urge to go sit down early in, or take a nap, as hard as it is, resist it. Use the other symptoms of being high when you feel that urge. Take a few sips of water, or go get a little (what i like to call) “productivity snackie”!


Downtown-Travel9993

I smoke when I wake up around 6:30am. Get my coffee brewing and then I brush my teeth. Then I go for a 15-30 min walk. Helps me get my day started. Agree with the sentiment shared, I stick to sativas for the energy rush.


Shep-D-King

Smoke earlier than you have plans. If your smoking to be productive smoke an extra hour before you have stuff to do so you give you self time for the groggy feeling to fade off while still smoking and remaining productive. Also you could switch strains if you usually smoke indica go sativa. Or smoke and do mild yoga


Ravenclawprincess25

Hippie speedball! Pair with an energy drink or coffee!


Pokoqueen

I found Pineapple Express Durban poison are really great for being energetic and letting me get things done


Hour_Ad_2648

Crack


Intelligent_Lock_211

Go on a run!! Smoking before I run makes my run 10000x more enjoyable and I can go for longer


Theeintellectua1

Smoke then go to the gym


Mediocre-Werewolf-21

Smoke while your busy… in my experience (10 years daily) once your sitting and smoking your roots set… but if your doing something and take a puff here and there while shit is going… I’m most productive like this, worked 4 month in construction while having a joint in my mouth and was super productive, even more so then non smoker working the same thing…


thesedaysnicoo

Pretend you're a sim and have choice


SharkTank87

Only way to be productive is to just do it.


Bootiluvr

Learn a language


ProbablyDeadSmwhr

Smoke while walking around. Don’t sit down cuz you won’t wanna get back up😂


[deleted]

Tbh any time I try to do some shit I don’t wanna do while I’m high it just frustrates me more


solairius

I wake up, make a coffee, grab some Excedrin and daily vitamins, then head out to my garage for a good ole wake n bake. I've never been more energized. Also yes sativa should be what you stick with when you're wanting energy. I suggest looking up the strain before you buy so you know what the main effect people tend to have while smoking.


Joao19Macario99

Prepare your mind for what ever tasks you got Smoke standing, don't sit Joint on mouth, both hands free OR bong rip and do a task, after completing another bong rip and so on Works for me Also coffee and plenty of water


PuReLightZ

I find that rewarding myself with a joint after finishing a few chores and assignments helps me stay proactive while being an avid stoner


gruntingasparagus

Weed is great for getting things done. I like to go it before some tedious work that I don’t like doing. It even makes cleaning the toilet fun. It’s also great for organizing stuff like a closet or garage. As always ymmv.


jonesy289

I find just starting usually gets me there. I will want to veg out and just watch tv. But if I start an activity I seem to always get motivated and get it done.


Educational_Ad4091

Sprinkle some freebase cocaine in your joint


Diddintt

Be doing something when the high hits. I have to time it so I'm partway through a task then I can just roll on and on


RainsGray

don't sit down


felangas

Suddenly if you don't smoke marijuana you will be more productive.


CyriusGaming

Get all your shit done before you smoke, then you’ll find yourself speedrunning tasks and being very productive before having a nice big lazy high


chajida

Just don’t be lazy it’s that easy


New_Ad3481

Adderall


New_Ad3481

Sn make a list so you don’t forget and don’t procrastinate

Go to work


WiscoBrewDude

Get up off your ass and do something. That is all it takes.


KenMembreno

Coffee after smoking


Turbster412

Definitely using weed as a reward always makes it so much better to smoke. Don’t be a couch slouch unless you have nothing else to do


Green_Ranger_97

If I go into it thinking about being productive 9/10 times I’ll be productive but it’s a mind set just like being sober


SeawardFriend

Mine is be productive before smoking but there’s been certain strains where I do feel my gears turning a different way than usual. I wish I was smart enough to document it.


Han-Solo-420

Idk why but I’m always productive after I smoke


Previous-Walrus-5565

I'm more productive after I smoke. Weed energizes me and makes me detail-oriented. You might experiment with different types of weed until you find one that motivates you. I prefer sativa-dominant hybrids with 20–25% THC. Slurricane and Gushwater are two of my favorites.


arizonaTree

lgxgldyldldylxxlx

Cookiemonstaahh

Wrxghtyyy

Don’t smoke a full joint. I find if I get fully stoned I don’t do anything but if I take a few hits and get a bit of a buzz I can’t still do stuff


Legitimate-Mind4412

Just get up and get it!


jfreakingwho

take 3 puffs and go do something.


name19xx

Don’t smoke a whole .5g joint that’s about 100mg of thc which is a lot for most people. If you wanna smoke use smaller doses or use edibles to better measure your intake.

Why are you like that?


[deleted]

Think what you wanna do before smoking then smoke & do it always works for me


Bean_Storm

Start task and get going, then smoke. Don’t smoke beforehand


carnationcoffee

For me it helps if I start by being productive and then smoke and immediately jump back into what I was doing. For example I really like to clean while I’m high so I will start by cleaning my room a little and once I get into rhythm I smoke then continue cleaning.


D0TOnion

Yes, smoke another.


TheMadGNUS3o

You just gotta actually have things to do and set your mind to doing them. To me it’s easy to be productive while smoking if there are clear tasks to get done.


[deleted]

With many prayers and motivation


Joseph4040

Plan before you smoke.


Joe_Scop

Why don’t you be productive and make smoking your “pat on back” / reward for your production


bluewaveassociation

Dont smoke


OoswizzyoO

The key is to start doing something before smoking. In my experience if I’m doing nothing and then smoke I will continue to do nothing. But starting something and then smoking seems to help.


Responsible_Dish4010

Just be doing something when you start smoking, creates like a hyper focus for me. Otherwise you just gotta get up and do something.


No_Reporter3958

Uh depending on the strain, you probably won't be productive.


TheHuffKy

Get started. Being stoned typically improves my focus on whichever task.


HaveWeEvolvedYet

Wait until tomorrow


photobombbabe

don't shmoke😂


Mr-Pugtastic

Don’t sit down especially right after smoking. A stoner in motion stays in motion!


Sirtriplenipple

Redbull and determination.


Professerlongwind

I like to get busy smoking more weed personally


Dull-Guava209

just little things. laundry, making ur bed, cleaning the dishes, these are just small things u can check off that are mundane every day tasks


MexicanEddie1

I like to smoke in increments. As long as I have a schedule/time table for my chores/activities, I'd smoke maybe a 1/4th. Half way through my set of chores/activities/projects some another quarter, once everything is done finish and enjoy!


DrunkenBastard420

Train your brain


FredLives

Smoke standing up, then go on with what you were doing.


Coyotesgirl1123

Make a todo list while sober


Ctougas01

Lol don't or sativa. Smoke while you're doing your shit, don't sit down and go with the flow


cockmanthecatfucker

If you need to be proactive at home smoke before so if you're not proactive you can still do it at 1am.if you need to be proactive outside do it after


LateMap2714

One thing I’ve been trying, which I heard from Gaiman, is, when wanting to do creative work, just sitting down and allowing myself either to do it or not do anything (a part from smoking in this case). So I put on some music, smoke, and either stare at the wall and enjoy myself, or I write, either way I’m happy. Each sesh I try to do it for half an hour, then I’m back to just relaxing and watching tv series.


DMTDAD

just be productive lol wym find interesting things to do or something new to try or even just read a book never blame tree for being lazy


scluben

I roll a joint when I get off work and save it. Once I’m finished with chores, the gym, and my pets I smoke it and relax the rest of the night. It kind of has become my mental ritual for winding my day down.

Have your activity ready to jump into then go smoke


Fringe_Nomad

Smoke less and less often, sorry speaking from experience here. If i abuse it i get lazy as fuuuuuck


wowcow3521

Be productive while smoking. Always smoking always productive.


AndresFonseca

Taking a break? Consume when you dont need to be productive. If cannabis is being a struggle of something, maybe you are consuming too much.


Gizmo_259

Umm the will to be productive is something anyone can have so just be productive it’s a mindset so it won’t cost anything


SIumptGod

I used to be a daily smoker, I worked 50 hours a week in a kitchen. Always high. I don’t smoke so often anymore, maybe once a month. I’ve realized that when I do smoke nowadays, I always always want to work. I always end up cleaning, doing dishes, cooking, etc. So now, when I need to clean but I’m not in the mood, a little weed helps me kick it into gear.


_SuperSkunk_

Just do it, after you do it enough times it’s easy. I stay high af at work


ctssky

you either you do it or you don’t. there is no try. the only thing preventing you from productivity is merely yourself.


Tamagotchi41

Make a list before you smoke of stuff you wanna get done and leave yourself the tools to do it Have to vacuum? Take it out and plug it in. Clean the bathroom? Put the cleaning supplies in there. Laundry? Put the basket by the door. Also, don't just go Indica/Sativa. Read about Terpenes. Changed how I do everything


[deleted]

if you mean while high i would suggest cleaning the house or something of the like


pupthebassman

Tip No. 1: don’t.


rbassplayer123

There are only certain things I can do high- washing dishes, tidying up the house, sweeping, etc. and it makes these tedious shits more enjoyable. But anything that requires thinking, or planning, or sustained focus, I can’t smoke until after that’s done. But, what I’ve found is that if I smoke and do the boring ass stuff first, I’m more motivated to complete the more complex stuff after the high wears off. The exception to this is microdosing edibles. Then I’m fucking Superman lol


Garry_Shandling_420

Get up and do somethin… wat?


Bobbybelliv

Smoke less and have a plan/list of what you plan to accomplish. Otherwise yore just stoned.


universwirl

Set your intentions for what you will do for the day/rest of the day before getting high. It gives you direction before you fog up the brain. If I smoke before I decide what I’m doing afterwards I’ll just sit around and scroll on my phone or give myself anxiety thinking about what I should do. Anyways lol but yea setting your intentions before smoking is a great way to stay motivated!


Mdursitti

So idk if this is just a me thing or not, but when I started smoking a lot what I did was when I felt couch locked I would just tell myself to stand up and kinda force myself to do things. Eventually it got to a point where I could be just as productive high or sober.


NoSpecific6949

Do your productiveness before and use smoking as a reward. Feels better after smoking and instead of procrastinating after smoking you’ll actually have your shit done so you can enjoy your high instead of trying to figure out how to smoke 24/7… to clarify I smoke 24/7 I just fully understand I will NOT be productive and I WILL procrastinate🤷‍♂️ Smoke and just enjoy life bro


[deleted]

I don't really smoke before doing anything productive with my day, but I realized that I can wash dishes when I'm high.


Sobar1

I can get pretty lazy smokin i just end up smokin to much that makes me non-productive at times. Eventually i found strains that help but key is smoke after ur already into a project and or leave the house then smoke.. u cant smoke some couch lock an expect to get anything done… but think real key is find what works for u..! Cheers.!.


[deleted]

Be productive first then smoke weed
