So at the risk of sending long-standing readers to the hills, I’m going to repeat my kicking-caffeine experiment. For reasons I can’t quite remember, caffeine is back in my life. I’m drinking reasonable amounts of green tea during the working day, and enjoying it immensely. But for the sake of science, I’m going to document my experiences of not drinking caffeinated drinks for at least 100 days. That's no coffee, no tea (black, white or green) and no Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Red Bull or the like (that won't be difficult for me as I don't drink them anyway).
My experience to date is that habits are difficult to break or alter and that 100 days is the minimum amount of time that is meaningful for such an attempt. In true no-time-like-the-present style, I’m kicking off today.
It’s been almost 2 years since I tried this for the first time, and I’ve learnt a lot more about habits and self-control since then. So in the days ahead I will fill you in on some of the techniques I have learnt that I hope will make this attempt a easier. In the meantime, while you are all enjoying your coffee, I’m going to have another cup of Rooibos tea. Yum!
