I measured my brain waves and task performance on caffeine- here’s what I found

This story was originally published on my website last year as part of a still-ongoing series of articles on caffeine and mental…performance. ¶ For the past six weeks I’ve been conducting an experiment on myself. I’ve been taking different levels of caffeine every day, with intent of figuring out exactly how much I should take for optimal mental and physical performance. ¶ I was a caffeine addict for most of my life (you can read about one strategy I used to overcome that here), so it’s only recently that I’ve started to view it as a performance enhancer, rather than a problem to get rid of.

How to become more likable — 4 Tips That Will Change Your Life

All I wanted was to be liked by you, him, her, her, him, and them. It’s all I wanted.But it was a trap. Like many desires, we’re trapped once we “have” it, then we’re afraid to “lose” it. The fear of loss becomes greater than the fear of gain. And that’s when we die. ¶ Death omits growth. If you’re not growing, you’re dying. If your money isn’t making money, you’re losing money. There’s no middle ground. It’s black or white. ¶ I chose this article title for one reason: I know my readers- they’re smart, so my concern is not whether they’re finding the right answer.
