Coffee Overload

|

Every morning starts with a promise: just one cup of coffee.

But then the inbox fills up, the to-do list multiplies, and each new task whispers, “You deserve another.”

Before I know it, there’s a small ceramic army of mugs on my desk and my heart is racing faster than my thoughts.

It’s not just caffeine; it’s ADHD’s favorite sidekick. Instant dopamine in a cup.
One cup becomes four not because I planned it, but because each refill feels like a tiny restart button.

So if you’ve ever looked around at noon and realized you’ve accidentally out-caffeinated yourself, you’re not alone.
May our mugs stay full and our hands only slightly shaky.
