Using Myself As A Lab Rat

So I already failed my goal miserably of trying to write a blog post everyday. Last time I ever got anything done was when I was filled to my neck with coffee. Countless studies have shown that creativity flows better when consuming caffeine. So..

Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

I will get my body addicted to caffeine for 10 days. Get work done for 10 days. Record my results for 10 days. Then revise my plan after I surely set myself up for an unhealthy body crash at the end of this productivity experiment.

Yes I am completely aware that reliance on a drug is not good for short term solutions, but I still think it's an experience worth venturing into. I can't learn from doing nothing. I can learn from failing though. Most importantly, it'll be fun (Coffee + Productivity + Electro mixes).


Addiction won't be alone; Obsession will be there by it's side.

To organize the next 10 days of heart pounding chaos, I'm also going to get myself literally obsessed with to-do lists. I half-read this book called The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande. He is an accomplished surgeon and in his book he talks about how we truly underestimate the power of checklists. So I've decided it would be a good tool I will use obsessively. Obsession requires a person to lose a little sanity, and being crazy is not something that I'm afraid to genuinely experiment with either. This blog post speaks for itself; LETS GO.
