Original Advice
“DONT: Stop drinking caffeine when thoughts start racing.”
Cut Caffeine Before The Spiral
You wait until your mind is on fire, then try to put it out with willpower. Stop that. Caffeine is not focus; it is a siren. It drags your thoughts into whitewater and calls it productivity. Do not bargain with it at 2 p.m. Do not sip while spiraling. Cut the fuse before you light it. Close the café in your skull before the stampede.
Racing means you already crossed the line; the throttle is open. Stopping caffeine then stacks withdrawal on panic. You spin harder. The lesson is boring: win earlier. Front-load calm. Set a cutoff. Eat breakfast. Drink water. Walk outside. Write a three-line plan and do one line only. This is plumbing: control the valve, control the current. Keep your ocean still enough to see the bottom.
