Cocaine, Caffeine, and 420: How Drugs Affect Your Productivity
Premium Episode••7-Day Free Trial
••
Today just happens to be April 20th, or 420. I thought it would be ideal timing in this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast to discuss drugs.
Specifically, I will dive into how drugs affect your productivity and a few ways you can make conscious decisions about the role of drugs in your working life.
Here are 10 questions to ask yourself about where you stand today with drugs, and the role drugs play in your daily life.
What drugs are you currently taking? This includes everything I mentioned in today’s episode, from caffeine and man-made food, to cocaine and ecstasy.
How do the drugs you’re taking affect your ability to accomplish your goals on a daily basis?
Do you ever feel out of control when you consume your drugs?
Do you consciously take your drugs or has it become a mindless habit?
Is your health at risk because of the drugs you take?
Is anyone in your life negatively affected by the drugs you take?
If you could stop taking your drugs today, would you?
Do you think it’s reasonable to classify yourself as an addict?
Do you have a plan or boundaries in place to monitor the quantity of drugs you consume?
If you could start over today, what drugs would be a part of your life, if any?
