Too much caffeine can kill your productivity. I have been addicted to those stupid blue, low carb monsters for a while, and I never get addicted to ANYTHING. I decided to quit, and have been slowly weening myself off caffeine. Today is my first day without caffeine, and I feel lazy and lethargic. It sucks...I am completely unproductive and I feel like a lazy a**hole.

So my solution is to either go the gas station and grab a monster, and then wait until the weekend to quit cold turkey. This way I can be lazy, feel lethargic without feeling TOO guilty. I can read the forums, read books, and chill by the lake without feeling too bad about it.

OR

I can NOT go get that can of monster and suffer through it today. I don't know what the right choice is, but I'm posting this so I can hold my self accountable for this goal: quit caffeine for 30 days. Starting today or Monday.

Can anyone relate?
