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!

I turned 33 today.

I weighed in at 337lbs this week.

I gained 147lbs over the past 4 years.

Here's what happened, how it's affecting me, and how I'll lose 140lbs in the next 18 months:
But first let's rewind to 2006.

I was 16.

I got addicted to World of Warcraft.

I played between 12 to 16 hours every day.

(I never got put in school before starting college at 22)

My weight went up to over 370lbs in 2-3 years.

I had low testosterone.

I was pre-diabetic.
I moved in 2010 and started a construction job working outside in the summer heat.

I lost 117lbs in 17 months.

But I started gaining it back after I started college in 2012.

I went back up to around 300lbs.

Over the next 6 years I slowly lost around 110lbs.

9 practical tips to avoid waking up groggy, unmotivated, and lifeless:
Do you want to:

• Stop hitting snooze?
• Have energy all day?
• Become a morning person?
• Get work done while everyone else is asleep?

Waking up earlier doesn't have to suck.

It's a habit you can build.

Here are 9 ways to start waking up earlier:
1) Be deliberate

Waking up early is a mind game.

You can wake up, do nothing, and feel like trash.

Or be intentional, get quick wins, and feel great.

The first step is making it part of your new identity.

Be deliberate. Focus on small wins. Turn it into a habit.

Why you can't focus (and how to fix it):
It's becoming harder to focus.

But focus is simultaneously becoming more rare AND more valuable.

I believe focus will soon become the #1 thing separating the 1% from the 99%.

But why is it so hard to focus?
We're surrounded by distractions.

News.

Food.

Games.

Phones.

Social media.

Purple things.

Even when we try to focus on one thing... something else comes along and interrupts us.

So what happens?

Are you sleeping less than 6 hours a night?

Do these 7 things to easily get 8 hours of sleep every night:
Not getting enough sleep cripples your brain.

It causes:

Do these 7 things to get better sleep each night:

Alcohol may help you fall asleep, but it hurts the quality of your sleep.

Too much of any liquid causes bathroom trips in the middle of the night.
