A LOT of Catching Up
The majority of my workday was mostly just me doing my usual stuff. But in the morning, I want something to really energize me so I can get everything done today. So I ordered a sea salt latte from Pickup Coffee. I added in an extra shot of espresso because I think it'll really help boost my productivity levels.
And I was kind of right, but also severely wrong.
The coffee made me so agitated and anxious for the rest of the day. I didn't even finish it, which is rare since I'm a heavy coffee drinker. I still had 1/3 of it left over because it was so strong and kind of triggered a flight-or-fight response from me. It helped me achieve a lot for my afternoon tasks, but it just made me feel extremely anxious and agitated.
I rested for most of the evening until I had to cram all of my journal entries together. I wrote more than 4,000 words in this hysteria-filled evening just trying to get everything complete and pushed. I'm glad I finished all of the entries, though, and I'm glad to be "fully caught up" in things once again, but damn, I don't think I'll be ordering another shot of espresso.
