Decaf is my new best friend. I haven’t had a caffeinated cup of coffee in over a week and I’m falling asleep faster and I‘ve got more consistent energy levels now. Trust me you can do it!!
Pro-tip: It’s all about decaf. I’m not going to deny myself the coffeeshop experience or the taste of a cappuccino just because I don’t want caffeine in my system.

Almost four weeks now without caffeine. I fucking love coffee, but this is one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a while. Better sleep, no more feeling like a zombie in the morning, less anxiety. 5/5.

well, I did it.
But I didn't like it.
poor sleep, headaches, and other issues persuaded me that I ought to take a break from my usual daily coffee rhythm of 4-5 double shot americanos. (That's 8-10 shots of espresso.)
here's what I did last week:
- Tuesday - 1/2 the usual caff amount
- Wed - 1/3 caff
- Thurs - 1/4 caff
- Friday - 1/8 caff
- Saturday, Sunday, Monday - zero caff
today is the first headache-free day.
Not sure if I'm going to ease back in after a few weeks or what.

since college/having a job ive been hooked on caffeine. and since ive been working 10-12 hr days i would chug a bang! energy drink or sugar free redbull at least once per day.
but then my friend decided to quit caffeine and i unintentionally stopped drinking caffeine altogether, and honestly ive never felt better. i used to have an insane amount of energy in the morning then crash at like 12pm but nowadays my energy has been so level. been keeping at this for ~3 months, and i still have coffee every once in a while but nothing crazy. would recommend going cold turkey with caffeine !!

I'm writing an essay and I've come up with three antidotes to overconsumption.
1. Consume critically. I don't care how many books you read last year - how does your favourite author use literary devices to tell their story? How does your favourite film director create a mood? Figure this out.
2. Create anything. And I really mean anything. Bake a cake, write an essay, knit a scarf. This is probably the best antidote to overconsumption because it preoccupies you, but it also helps develop some respect for what it takes to do the things that you consume.
3. Connect with people. It doesn't need to be that deep. DM your favourite content creator that you like their stuff. Comment on people's PI.FYI recs. If you enjoy consuming another person's content, letting them know is just a nice thing to do (and helps avoid parasocial relationships).

Last Monday I took a day off work (paid!) to go to the cinema with my friend and watch three films all in one go - A Complete Unknown, Babygirl and Nosferatu. We went out for coffees and dinner between films, but it was fun to make an outing of it while catching up on the newest films. Try and space out the screenings strategically so you don’t end up spending 12 hours out and about like we did.

I ain’t ordering pizza delivery in this economy. I’ve got a go-to pizza dough recipe that never fails, it takes 1.5 hours to make including dough-rise time, and at this point I prefer it to most restaurant pizzas.
