all right this one is on caffeine and anxiety and this is a really fast way of getting a bit more productive during the day caffeine is the most widely used psychoactive substance in the world and this seems really obvious but when you think about its potential effect if you take too much which is increased anxiety nervousness lack of focus it's pretty crazy how much we slam down sometimes i'm having like five or six coffees in a day before it's even four o'clock and imagine what it does to your sleep so i love drinking it throughout the day but i kept getting anxious at around 12 because i've had three or four coffees before it's even got to midday then in the afternoon i'd find it hard to concentrate i started adding caffeine free tea and coffee they look like this that's just caffeine free coffee caffeine free tea in fact i've got them here this one's really good it's like instant caffeine free coffee yes caffeine free tea it's available in most places it's usually the same price and the purpose was not to go completely caffeine free it tastes the same you probably couldn't tell in a blind taste test what has happened since i started doing this and bearing in mind i didn't replace everything at the first two or three drinks in the morning are now caffeine free that's because you wake up you don't really need caffeine you think you do but actually like your adrenal system is working ready so you don't really need it in the morning you should be well rested um so start replacing the first two or three with caffeine caffeine-free and now i don't have anxiety in the afternoon um my concentration in the afternoon is better and the major thing is i drink as many tea and coffee as i want to throughout the day do i still drink caffeine yes usually between 12 and 2 i try and stop after two the earlier you can stop throughout the day so that you're not um impacting your sleep later the better there you go caffeine-free coffee caffeine-free tea quick way of making yourself more productive in the afternoon and not being so anxious
