Productivity Thread #3:

No matter what Karen with her butterfly mug tells you...

You don't need caffeine to be productive.

In fact, reducing or quitting caffeine would be good for you.

Take one last sip and read on to learn how...

80% of the world uses caffeine on a daily basis.

It's the world's most popular drug.

The average person doesn't think of it as a drug, and they don't think they're addicted.

Then that same person will tell you not to talk to them til they've had their cup of bean water.

Benefit #1: Improved sleep

Caffeine blocks the neurochemical which makes you sleepy.

If you have caffeine too late in the day, then you'll have trouble falling asleep at night.

The next day, you feel fatigued... so you reach for more coffee.

Benefit #2: Improved digestion

Coffee can act as a laxative. Ever went running for the bathroom after a cup? That's why.

Overuse of caffeine can also lead to acid reflux and GERD.

That's what happened to me late last year.

Benefit #3: Lower blood pressure

Caffeine increases your blood pressure.

It also causes your blood vessels to constrict.

That's why you get terrible headaches when you don't have caffeine - your blood vessels expand.

Benefit #4: Even energy levels

Most people's energy levels are a roller coaster.

They're tired, they have coffee, it wears off, they get tired again.

After you've been off caffeine for a while, your energy levels even out.

You don't need caffeine anymore.

Benefit #5: Less anxiety/stress

Caffeine stimulates your nervous system.

The burst of energy triggers your fight or flight hormones.

This causes

- anxiety
- nervousness
- panic attacks

Are you ready to claim these benefits for yourself?

Then consider breaking your addiction to the world's most popular drug!

But don't do it cold turkey!
