Talismans of Productivity
13th January 2011
It’s simple guys. Give up coffee and tea. Don’t flagellate yourself over it. Don’t invent terribly strict rules to try to govern yourself with a rod of iron. Give up caffeine. Cool your heels, calm your brain, avoid those depressing downs and then watch yourself. Make a daily focus list if you must. Have lists of tasks to do in your email client if you must. Work out what tricks work with you. I am not giving you a tightly worded prescription, iron-bounded rules.

Give up coffee? WTF?!?
More likely that the extra carbs were slowing down the brain.
Could I write more without coffee in the morning? Maybe. But could I tolerate the people I come in contact with? That’s touchy WITH coffee.
