WITHOUT RISE
Borrowed energy. Repaid with interest.
-
7:30 AM
First espresso, empty stomach
Quick wake-up, sharp spike. Heart racing before you've checked the calendar.
-
10:30 AM
Second espresso to push through
Jitters. Mind skipping. Bouncing between tabs without finishing anything.
-
2:00 PM
The afternoon wall
Decision fatigue. Reaching for sugar or another shot. The 2 PM dip arrives on schedule.
-
8:00 PM
Wired, not rested
Caffeine still cycling. Phone-scroll instead of sleep. Tomorrow starts from a deficit.
