@Kristine energy? In this economy?
@rogerparkinson point taken. I think regardless of circumstances there are some key neurochemical substances that makes us tick, they are triggered by both happiness and lack of such, internal and external approval pathways. I agree that if circumstances change, like economy, politics or other items out of your control, the drive into those pathways may change. Like the desire to correct and comment on what could have been done differently, or the external driven anxiety. So yes, also today..

@Kristine @yvan not sure if I understand. Are you saying that if coffee makes me anxious, I should have coffee AND add chocolate? Would that let me be more productive and less anxious after my second cup of coffee?
Asking because I used to drink lots of coffee, but at some point I had to limit my intake. It started making me more anxious than productive.
@mewbassprr I don't think I should give advise on substance use
as mentioned above, these are all part of the same xanthine family, that all drive, stimulate, sensitive or blocks pathways related to reward, anxiety, tiredness, productivity. It's probably best I don't paraphrase the whole rabbit hole.. I think you can find your stimulants cocktail that works. If too much anxiety, indeed stop or change mixture. A blinded experiment is advised. Good luck 🥳🦸

@Kristine These are by no means exclusive choices.

@kbm0 indeed.

@Kristine These are by no means exclusive choices.
@kbm0 they are actually all the same. However, different focus on pathway entry and or combination of factors to trigger same or related systems. And that was the plan. What's your key driver?
-
Running off anx is fine (FAVO...) until you run right off the end and yr body nopes out. Then it's really not fine.

@PhilWill quite deliberately

@Kristine Anxiety. I've had to cut down the coffee in recent years.

@miguelpergamon that's s valid point of view. That I disagree with in this case as part of the poll is also to have to take a stance. The options today are also not at all mutually exclusive. The only compromise offered is to not vote and make your Other comment/argument here. Thanks! @evan has an amazing FAQ related to polls that is his FAQ or position on polls but that I largely agree with and can be used as guidance in most polls I think https://evanp.me/pollfaq/

@Kristine
I never drank coffee until a few years ago when I discovered it helped metabolise pain killers and thus joined ranks in the battle against migraines.My normal fuel is carbs. Toast, pasta, sandwiches, poptarts, croissants, bring it on. I suppose that becomes glucose which in turn triggers dopamine so that's how I voted.
On the spite front, I knew a guy who kept a "told you so" folder from when he warned management not to take a given course of action, so he could remind them later.
-
@Kristine all of the above
-
@Kristine
Guilt and shame. Self-reinforcing, while the system supports it; however, that is less and less the case. -
@miguelpergamon @evan hah! Thanks! Indeed. So then we took the opportunity to educate the others. Appreciated
-
@Kristine I can not, neh will not, choose only one!
I've had big days when all were at play. -
-
@Kristine Spite > Caffeine > Dopamine > Anxiety (in that order, but it's all of the above)
-
@Kristine Caffeine. Add anxiety for random bonus effects!
-
@Kristine Coffee. Coffee. And Coffee. Did I mention coffee? Because it’s coffee.
-
@Kristine
It would be dopamine, but I'm congenitally resistant and don't get enough in any case. Anxiety is my fallback, and caffeine is just an anxiety delivery mechanism. -
@Kristine two of these mainly plus I suspect some spite when I absolutely need to prove someone wrong (with science of course)
