Yesterday I started out not great by listening to music/podcasts to get up. I felt tired after drinking and going to bed late and MOing from the date with debroah the night before. I got coffee and did a solid two hours of focused work on TR futuring setting. Then set up the sham trigger out code while listening to music. At 400 when I finished I went home and felt very tired from lack of sleep and coffee wearing off . I watched a lot of youtube, door dashed, found the FSL install guide, the function to find points inside a 3d hull, I also wrote out the next milestone (or at least started on it.) After hanging out with deborah I felt low self esteem/dopamine and proceeded to doordash mcdonalds and watch southpark/youtube shorts from 1030 to 1245. When i was watching the shorts i genuinely felt trapped. While being a productive day, the time on youtube is why i failed. This really messed with my sleep, focus, and brain power. I really wish I could take that time back. |

Yesterday was the first day without caffine. Got great sleep. Still felt depressed during the day with how boring things were. Felt like everything was slower and less exciting. At the same time everything felt smoother and more clear (no large burst of energy/excitement then crash, I could also think about things from a more detached state.). I do believe this is the way toward an upward spiral. I still want to challenge any casual thoughts I have about this that are driving me toward caffine...i know i am smarter without caffine. It is possible there are scenarios where coffee helps my performance but i would much prefer the clarity, better sleep, and level headness of no coffee than the buzz and quick burst of energy of caffine. Or stay disciplined about 2 days a week on coffee and sober without it. I suppose one thing i am worried about is that 1) I am more productive on coffee 2) coffee allows me to be more creative and take quicker action. |
