i.e. If I've (foolishly) said I will do a thing, I try hard to do it.

(I game myself by committing to give talks about things I haven't got around to doing yet, then as the deadline looms I'm committed to actually understanding the thing well enough to at least talk about it - which for me generally involves doing it!)

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.

Guilt and shame. Self-reinforcing, while the system supports it; however, that is less and less the case.

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.

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/

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 πŸ₯³πŸ¦Έβ€β™€οΈπŸ’―
