Startup Blabber #010: Benefits of Coffee

csy (66)in #life • 6 years ago

Dear Steemians,

While there are probably hundreds of thousands of ventures out there with all sorts of different cool ideas that the ventures are pursuing, I assume that the founder of each of these ventures have some routines that they all share with other entrepreneurs: the consumption of coffee. There was a point, where I would drink 8-10 cups of coffee a day, something I would not really recommend. I have brought this down to usually one cup of coffee in the morning and another cup of coffee in the afternoon.

After drinking 8-10 cups of coffee with the added stress that comes from a startup, you literally feel your body getting worse. It would be harder getting out of bed, and you would know your liver was getting shot to death, from all of the bile-filled burps you would have throughout the day.

One of the major habits I have when I first get into work, would be to read the news, particularly Google News. Lately, there have been floods of news regarding the benefits of coffee. Really wanted to share the information with everyone!
