Is it too late for coffee?
My dad told me about his coffee drinking habits. He drinks one upon waking. Then one at 11am at work. Then at lunch time. Then in the evening. We think he might also have ADHD.
Right now he's standing on the roof blowing the gutters, with a fleece jacket on, probably to avoid getting sunburnt. This man has never worn sunscreen in his life. Yesterday he painted the fence. Last week, he polished the garage door (who polishes their garage door?!). He can't take a break and do nothing. Absolute madman. Must be the coffee.
I need your dad to come to my place and do all my house maintenance chores. I didn’t even know garage doors could be polished, sounds classy.
I’m about to make another coffee if that’s of any l help.
When I’m working I’m usually having 3 or 4 coffees a day but they’re taken very early.
Edit: to balance it out I’m sitting down with animal crossing.
My 2c: if you're staying up til midnight or later, go for that coffee!
Caffeine doesn't have too noticeable of an effect of me, though, so I am biased. I suspect it probably does something subconsciously that I don't realise, but as far as conscious effects go, sometimes I'll feel a little more awake for 5 or 10 minutes max. But it feels akin to skulling some water, eating a banana, going outside into the sunshine and saying "I'm awake now!"
Cue: "I'm a social (coffee) drinker. I can quit anytime I want!". Seriously though, I usually only drink coffee cause I like the taste and it's what everyone else does. I don't even have coffee in my new house, I basically only get cafe coffee, and usually only once every week or two, and mostly as a social thing
PFFFT
ANY HOUR IS A GOOD HOUR TO HAVE COFFEE
I wish I had his motivation to do chores hahahaha
Exactly!
Me too, I don't know how he does it.
I wish coffee made me that productive!
I used to down about 5 or 6 a day before the adhd medication.
Plus red bulls.
My hands used to shake, but oddly enough I was incredibly calm...
