I've had good luck limiting my caffeine intake to three non-consecutive days a week. Avoids increasing my tolerance too much and allows for plenty of caffeine-free nights of sleep. Seems to work particularly well when paired with fasting.

Same, if possible I try to plan my stimulant intake based on anticipated workload, i.e. I don't want to be using my focus energy if there's nothing requiring it going on. I have noticed that simply changing up the delivery substance can "fake out" the tolerance sometimes, e.g. drinking a cup of coffee might have no effect due to tolerance but drinking a cup of green tea gets my brain going despite the core drug being caffeine for both.

>Sometimes I'll just grab a 300mg energy drink at the store or take a couple Excedrin on an empty stomach if that's all I got.

Not suggesting medication or that you take something you shouldn't; absolutely do your own research!

Look into HVMN Sprint. Pretty long shelf-life, well-controlled dosage and focused on focus rather just ENERGY TO THE MAX.

I loved Monster back in the day but its taste makes me sick just thinking about it.
