Wasn't feeling productive yesterday b/c I hadn't gotten enough sleep the night before, so I stopped trying to work after 1 coffee and 1 Caffeine+, told myself to focus on getting to bed on time, slept well last night (~9-10hrs), and I'm feeling good today. Just took a Caffeine+ to start the day and set my timer for 90 mins until I'll have a coffee or tea.

Drink coffee b/c I'm procrastinating on recording vids explaining my accomplishments for past clients and could use the dopamine rush to push through it.

☕️ second coffee + l-theanine. Time to beat that procrastination habit. #life

nothing, because I procrastinated in the cafe

Did a full Pieter-style workday, 2 coffees, 2 caffeine pills, >300mg caffeine, ~9hrs, now going for a massage b/c my back hurts and I feel exhausted. IDK if I could keep this pace up for a year or more.

Refined my caffeine regimen: 1 coffee, set an alarm for 3hrs, then 1 Caffeine+ pill, set an alarm for 90 mins, then a second coffee, then 3hrs later a final Caffeine+

Slept surprisingly well considering how much caffeine I had yesterday, I think going to the gym and sticking to my normal sleep hour helped. I did 1 coffee, then 1 Caffeine+ pill, then 1 coffee, with no second Caffeine+ pill.

Using a countdown timer to take caffeine at a specific rate has turned out to be an absolutely huge productivity boost. I set an alarm for 1.5hrs past a 50mg Caffeine+ pill, 3hrs for a ~100mg cup of coffee. W/o the timer I delay re-upping and slip into Twittering/YouTubing for hours without noticing it.

Force myself out of my weird depressive slump, go to a cafe, drink 5 shots of espresso, actually start feeling human again #life

woke up early and came to a coffeeshop to start my day

Only got ~6hrs of sleep, so try taking 120mg of lycopene...emailed back the WorkTime rep b/c their software isn't tracking any activity, it's crazy for it to be so broken in such a basic way...ask on Upwork forums if identity verification ever needs to happen again...created a Jira board for managing studying system design...started a pastebin system for rehearsing basic system design patterns daily b/c that's been working well for studying DSAs...feeling anxiety today, presumably from all the caffeine yesterday, so I'm going to take some Caffeine+ capsules to see if the extra vitamins in it makes the anxiety go away...run the Algolia HN API request that I found in the hnjobs repo in Postman as a first step towards grabbing those jobs myself...spent 30 minutes feeling anxious about what the next step should be, thinking I should set up the backend pulling jobs, before changing my mind and deciding I want to be able to use a frontend UI to connect my email address and then press a button to have the backend send an Gmail email for me...

woke up early and came to coffeeshop to start my #fightie day

Made coffee myself for the first time ever, in my condo. It was super effective at making me productive. #life

work for 13 hours at a cafe and got shit done! #life

Procrastinated by watching a short lesson on the recent history of Portugal from a café in Tomar because I can't find the energy to work towards my goals #life

Did another 9hr workday on my own stuff, I can definitely see how I could end up a millionaire if I kept this up for a few years. Stopping 90mins after taking my last 50mg caffeine pill of the day, gonna play games until it's time to go to sleep.

Go to cafe & get specialty coffee with 6 espressos added to wake up and work #life

Found a potentially-superior caffeine regimen of 1 coffee upon waking, then (some hours later) a 50mg "Caffeine+" pill that has additional vitamins and amino acids that caffeine apparently drains from the body (L-Theanine, L-Tyrosine, and B-vitamins), then a second coffee later.

Bought coffee for the most incompatible coffee machine in the Universe, despite I don’t drink caffeine since 1998, because I might start taking small doses of caffeine to become the überproductive indie hacker I used to be and I’m not anymore and turn into an addict and survive three heart attacks and then quit and write and sell books teaching how I quit and become a millionaire #life
