Cut Down Caffiene

[Optimized Life]

II have tried to quit and failed many times

have to humble myself 

My goal

1. Maximum 1 Coffee (or caffiene source) per day 

2.  No caffiene after 10AM 

3. Reduce Caffiene down to 150M consistently (100MG is ideal dream)  (and hard maximum limit at 200MG, above 200MG is meth head territory now)

need some form of boundary, and i can work with that 

If i try to quit cold turkey now it will disrupt my life too much 

This journal will have no ego, no other comentary, no philosophy or random talk 

Just pure 1 sentence : 

Date, caffiene consumption in MG, Time taken

Every caffiene I consume I MUST know how much it has 

I cannot just throw in some instant coffee without knowing how much it is

if its 2 spoons, i must know the exact caffiene that brand will approximately equate to for 2 spoon

Awareness cures, Measuring demystifies . 

NO Mystery 

People think its "addiction, overdose" ect.. 

But it's mostly lack of tracking and boundaries 

Addiciton is needing ANY caffiene, maybe 100-150mg to not feel like death

But tracking any Te prevents taking 350 mg and drinking it too late > sleeping too late > drinking beer or fapping out of boredom

Journal starts now,

only 3 things

1. No caffiene after 10am (MUST be followed at all times)

2. Max 150MG Caffiene = Goal but i'll permit 200mg at first if too difficult 

3. Every caffiene content must be mesured to gram BEFORE consumption

4. Trajectory is main priority > Goal is no C <10am but if I was drinking at 12-3PM at 300MG and next time its down to 11AM and 230MG then thats progress, the progress must continue every day, Numerical Progression Trajectory is Sacred

5.  Journal format > Date, caffiene consumption in MG, Time taken, Conlusion = Win or Fail 

6. VIsual Te : Google Sheets table of trajectory > DMY.MG.AM-PM

 

P.s Almost all my journals will follow this format now 

No more philosophy 

No more creativity 

Just Pure Te 

I've actually built a taste for my own blindspots 

I'm Horny for Te Now 

I'm horny to use google sheets

i'm horny to be pragmatic 24/7

I'm horny to create these journals 

I'm horny for numbers, metrics, trajectories, graphs, spreadsheets, diagrams, Mind Maps, hardcore discipline 

I'm horny to track my cold approaches on a sheet 

I'm horny to take my supplements in the bill box 

I'm horny to for no caffiene after 11AM 

I'm horny to increase my sleep quality 

I'm horny to get to 10-12% body fat 

I'm horny to take minoxidil every day so I can stay attractive until i'm 50+ 

I'm horny for earning USD & spending Pesos and little stress and partying when I want, but still managing my finances & investing 

I'm horny for doing proper form in the gym and even using physios and massages for optimization and injury prevention & tension & stress management

I'm horny for education and learning skills, every day, lifelong persuit, I'm horny for mechanically deconstrcuting any topic so i understand it from its root

Day 1. = PROGRESS + FAIL 

03.11.25 / 170-220MG / 10.30AM-11.20AM

1. Woke up so late > had to break the 10AM boundary 
2. 1st caffeine > 100-120 MG of Nescafe sachets > 10.30 AM 
3. 2nd Caffiene > 70-80MG Nescafe instant > 11-11.20AM 
4. Consumed on empty stomach

PS * Reducing total intake is important and worth it, but the MOST important thing is timing, stopping before about 11AM is literally sacred, a multitude of problems arise when u drink after 11AM and this is systems thinking, 1. harder sleep latency >> u simply waste time, unless you're going out to a club or socialzing why be awake?  2. Much higher % chance of drinking alcohol, or relying on pharmaceuticals, in order to sleep >> Lower REM sleep >> U inveitably wake up later (worst one), which means u start the day later >> = u drink caffiene later >> cycle continues + u get less shit done = more stress & shame = worse sleep ect..... then u dont have time for the gym ect.

Less Resistance for me to just use my google sheets 

I will probably switch over to sheets and post snapshot of results in 10 days, GOodbye.

05.11.25 :

There is a strong urge within to have ANOTHER coffee in the afternoon 

I already had 180-200MG approx about 10AM, and kind of regret not taking 230-240MG approx because I tend to crash more in afternoon and crave more so it feels risky 

But the morning is gone 

The decision is there

I'm not doing it 

I'm using music, internal energy sources, exercize, subconscious tools and if needed, fruit juice instead or even a little chocolate energy bar (+ jogging) if desperate (normally 10-20mg caffiene max and more tourine, sugar ect..) 

NO to afternoon coffee
