If you are going to spend money on cognitive enhancement, measuring properly is what makes the spending informative.
Why subjective impressions fail
Expectation shapes perception, particularly for subjective states. Regression to the mean supplies improvement independently, since people start interventions when they feel worst. Memory for how you felt weeks ago is reconstructive and biased toward confirming current belief. Unnoticed co-occurring changes — sleep, workload, season — provide alternative explanations. An impression is close to uninformative on its own.
What to measure
A daily rating at a fixed time is the minimum: afternoon clarity out of ten, plus hours slept. Better, add something objective and repeatable: a timed digit span, a standard reaction-time task, words recalled from a fixed-length list, or a timed task from your actual work. Track adherence honestly. Record confounders — sleep, illness, workload, caffeine — since they explain most variance.

Record a baseline for at least two weeks before starting. Change one thing at a time. Run for six to eight weeks minimum, since most mechanisms in this category are cumulative. Compare periods rather than days, looking for a difference exceeding your normal variability. Then consider a deliberate stop for four weeks with the same recording, which is the closest thing to a personal on-off trial and is more informative than continuing indefinitely on an assumption.
Key takeaways
- Expectation, regression to the mean and unnoticed change all precede any ingredient effect
- An objective repeatable task beats a subjective rating
- Record confounders, since they explain most variance
- A deliberate stop period is the most informative personal test available
