@Kristine aren't caffeine and anxiety the same thing? 😅

@Kristine

Running off anx is fine (FAVO...) until you run right off the end and yr body nopes out. Then it's really not fine.

As usual there should be a multiple selection option for the poll that includes not making a selection.

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

@Kristine Spite > Caffeine > Dopamine > Anxiety (in that order, but it's all of the above)

@Kristine Caffeine. Add anxiety for random bonus effects!

@Kristine Coffee. Coffee. And Coffee. Did I mention coffee? Because it’s coffee.

@Kristine two of these mainly plus I suspect some spite when I absolutely need to prove someone wrong (with science of course)

@Kristine none of them. It's carbs and sugars. I mean it's sugars and more sugars. Unhealthy but hey... we can't live like a sick person just to die healthy 😉

@Kristine Caffeine, but with a side order of commitment.

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!)

@Kristine I don't even know myself lol, anxiety is what prevents me from having the energy to do work, but it's not like I'm a dopamine addict either, I don't take caffeine, and I don't do things out of spite (much more likely to not do things out of spite).

I also feel like I have a constant lack of energy so maybe my answer is just none of the above?

I spent way too long thinking about this lol

@Kristine

I tend to work via anxiety fuel, but I'mtaking steps to make the energy transition to spite.

I know, its non-renewable (in theory). But if I run out of it, it means I'm in a better place overall.

@Kristine Yes, it’s a recipe I’ve carefully honed over the last 15 years.
Show threadarestelleApr 12
@Kristine the anxiety provides focus points, the spite provides the fuel
