🛑 How quitting alcohol and caffeine led to my biggest products growth ever

Hi, Let me start with this - it's been exactly two years since I switched to non-alcoholic beers, and six months of barely any caffeine. In those two years I released two successful books, a course and started work on a couple side-project startups, next to running a software house. I want to talk a little bit about my experience, because I am now sure, that the effects of drinking alcohol stay with you for a lot longer than I previously thought. I was doing a lot of things before that June day in 2019 too, but there was a lot less focus, a lot more chaos and my mind was often tired. This is NOT the case anymore, I sleep better, wake up refreshed and always motivated to do something awesome. My theory is that even days after a drink or two, I used to be 5% less "able" to do my best work. It may not sound like much, but over the years those 5% compound between all those party weekends and undermine the things you're doing. Caffeine was the next one to go, and quitting this drug led to huge headaches with the withdrawal syndrome for the first week or two, but after that it turns out you're just as refreshed in the morning without it, as you were after your first shot of espresso. These two years had seen more growth than all my previous years in this industry combined (and I've been doing design for 22 years). I'm also a lot happier and mentally stable and that helps a lot when juggling many different tasks and businesses. Did you see a boost in creativity, productivity and motivation after quitting too? Are you willing to try for a month?
