I think many people have such acquaintances who are constantly on the move: they go somewhere, implement projects, easily build thousands of acquaintances. We are ready to conquer the world in the morning. It's like their battery is always 200% charged and won't run out.

If not the exact opposite, then I'm definitely below average—at least I was before I introduced sleep and exercise habits. Now I'm not complaining about the lack of energy, but I'm far from the type described.

Often such people also sleep less than normal. Imagine: you get enough sleep not in 8 hours, but in 6. You get enough sleep, not artificially reduce sleep. It turns out that you can conditionally work not 8, but 10 hours a day. This is already +40 hours per month, in fact, an additional working week. About 2.5 months per year. It is not surprising that such a person can achieve more. Although there are those who waste this energy.

It's all about psychic energy. It is individual for everyone, and its quantity is largely genetically determined. But you can definitely increase it through sports, sleep, and nutrition. And I always want even more.

I rarely, but I do buy an energy drink. If you keep track of the internal states, it is noticeable: there is more psychic energy under the energizer, and it can really be used for work. The problem is that my gastritis worsens after soda, and I doubt it works as a tool.

The composition of the energy drink is mainly caffeine, taurine, sugar or a substitute. The rest is more like marketing. I have caffeine in its pure form separately — it has a weaker effect. I went further: I found taurine and started taking it in the same dosages as in energy drinks. The flight is normal: the effect is the same as from energy drinks, but without the side effects of soda.

Taurine is an amino acid that is already produced in the body. Caffeine is a controversial component: sometimes useful, sometimes harmful, but in dosages, like in a cup of coffee, it definitely won't do any harm. That is, we are talking about quite modest amounts.

I used to use only caffeine to increase efficiency, but now I've added taurine, and I'm happy with the result. And most importantly, the work background: remove distracting triggers so that you don't end up scrolling the feed more efficiently instead of being productive.
