Completely removing all alcohol, coffee and tobacco consumption from my life.
I still consume caffeine and nicotine. I’ve found that my cognition is improved by them; in the case of nicotine, I might just as well have regular pauses from work, though.
Coffee and tobacco, however, contain a host of other psychoactives which tend to bring about an easily distracted, impulsive frame of mind.
So many impulse buys are connected to a craving for the bitter, MAO-inhibiting alkaloids in coffee and tobacco smoke… it’s good for the economy, but not for your bank roll.
- ChaitanyaSai 4y agoWhat's a good easy way to get caffeine without coffee?
- dharma1 4y agoI like green tea (powered matcha has more caffeine than regular green tea), I guess you also have things like mate and energy drinks
- eurasiantiger 4y agoGreen tea, or just taking a (split) caffeine pill. Black tea, however, contains considerable amounts of tannins which have similar psychoactive effects as the MAOIs in coffee.
- doggwalker 4y agoIf you really want to save money, Walmart brand Stay Awake caffeine pills are 80 200mg tablets for a few bucks. I split them in 4 so it is like 320 50mg servings for a few bucks. The best thing about caffeine pills is you can actually know how much caffeine you are getting. I limit myself to 100-200mg a day. I wouldn't even want to know what I use to take drinking coffee but it was quite a bit. I will just drink coffee now as a treat.
