Daily caffeine protocol:

1-4 cups of coffee

Almost always black

Usually drip/pour over, sometimes espresso

Usually with some theanine if I’m having multiple cups

I don’t even know what “drip” or “pour over” means🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🫣

I also use L-Theanine to cut the edges off the coffee💜

I like the edge of one cup but more than that, I need the theanine

Drip = conventional coffee maker

Pour over = hand poured hot water over coffee grounds

Ohhh, thank you for the explanation, clarifies a lot💜🫶

I rarely ever have more than a cup a day, thinking whether I should or not🤔💜

If you don’t feel you need it, then I’d stick to one cup.

Caffeine has pros and cons.

I do fall off heavily after 2-3PM, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it taking the risk of not falling asleep at night 🤷‍♂️

Does it happen after you eat lunch?

Hmm, I’d say so yeah🤔

Probably has to do with that more than your morning caffeine.

Be mindful of what you eat. Too many carbs or fried food tends to cause a crash. I find lower carb meals work better for me.

As long as you sleep enough at night and it’s not that - try taking 15-20 min walk right after eating lunch and get some sunlight. Also stay hydrated.

Yeah, should start implementing that more and more 💜 Thank you so much buddy 💪

Any time.

Physical activity in the afternoon helps with the crash.

Report back in a week or so and let me know how it goes!

Really curious on your daily routine 🤔 Don’t really have anyone to take inspiration like that from💜

It varies based on my schedule or how disciplined I am.

Typically, I like to get up early and exercise. Then coffee and some focus creative work until lunch time (my 1st meal of the day). Then a walk and back to work. I do the boring, more process-related work in the afternoon (email, admin, etc.)
