Dear Self,
As much as you love a cup of coffee on a lazy Sunday, AVOID IT!!!
You'd a small cup of coffee after brunch, mixed with too many hazelnut shots and too many bags of 'natural' sugar. You loved the sweet bitter taste. And now, you're paying for it!
It's 4AM now. You have to be ready for work in 2.5 hours because of early Monday morning meetings. By noon (if you can stay awake that long), you're going to feel like shit and you will continue to feel like shit until your head hit the pillow. But you can't rest yet, according to the work calendar, you will be in meeting until 5PM (4PM if you're lucky).
Then you will feel even more shitty because you are suppose to go to the gym with your friend at 6pm, but now, because of the sweet tasting coffee, you will be too exhausted and you will have to flake on her. You'll feel like you're dying by 6pm so you'll flake on her and then feel shitty for being a flaker. If you can drive yourself home without causing major road accident on the LA freeway, you will go to sleep early on Monday evening and then wake up ungodly early again on Tuesday because you go to bed too early. And you will feel shitty again on Tuesday. And the cycle shall repeat itself until Friday night, when you can finally sleep till whenever on Saturday morning.
See how one sweet tasting cup of coffee can hurt you? Coffee is only allow on special occasion, like on vacation (or Saturdays) when there is no such thing as early morning meetings.
You hate feeling like shit, so don't drink coffee the day prior to a busy work day. No matter how much its deliciousness is calling out to you, you must resist!
Love,
Self
