I have to work pretty late tonight. Tips on staying awake and focused? Coffee/espresso/energy drinks won't do the trick.

Adderall helps

like

Coffee nap: drink a cup of coffee and then take a 20 minute nap. That’s how long it takes for caffeine to kick in.
B-12 supplements help, too, and they’re better than caffeine pills, which also exist. B-12 is the main ingredient in energy drinks, but I don’t care for the taste. The B-12 pills don’t taste great either, so make sure you have a chaser, not alcohol though, cuz alcohol is a depressant and will make you sleepy.

20 minute nap and back to work!

hydrate with water. keep the room cool. get some exercise. try the Pomodoro method. a powernap could help but that seems dangerous.

Binaural audio tracks for awake/focus. Make sure to use with both earbuds. If you don’t have headphones, look for isochronic tracks for awake/focus instead.

I’m 23 and independent. Working full time and studying full time is taking a serious toll on my mental health. I’m always tired, unmotivated, depressed, sometimes angry at my life, and I don’t know what to do. I’m in my sophomore year. I also don’t work in the field that I’m studying (computer science) because I’m always rejected without an interview, which is another aggravating factor for me. It’s hard to have time to work on personal projects to make my portfolio more attractive.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
