Anyone Else Feel Like Your Brain is "Speeding Up"?

Strange question, I know, but I will try to describe what I mean.

In the past 5 to 6 months I have obsereved a marked increase in my lucidity and ability to rapidly process simple information as well as info that before, seemed fairly daunting, although I have been researching occult subjects for nearly three years. I am making connections mentally far quicker than I ever remember. Also I have returned to multi tasking, although in the past I abandoned it as all tasks would invariably suffer somewhat. Recently though multi tasking seems more natural and I can do it quite effectively. In the past half year at work, to my utter surprise I have been getting many complements and, have advanced more than I had in 4 years combined, although to me it seemed like I was daydreaming the entire time. It's strange because I am 26 and have been out of school for some time, but now my craving for (and retention of) information or more accurately knowledge, is at an all time high.

I simply feel like my brain has shifted into an overdrive state recently and I have no way of accounting for it. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed anything similar, now or at any other point in life?

As a disclaimer of sorts I will mention that my diet has remained relatively static for years and I take no supplements or drugs other than herb (which I don't consider a drug, and has been a hobby for ten years, so nothing there) and I rarely drink.
