I am a hardass on myself and others... but with the caffeine and nicotine thing, they are popular drugs for a reason.
Use them, don't let them use you. There is a sustainable way to include them in your life.
I see a lot of guys (I speak from experience) that get lost in the 'battle' with these things. Right now I have 1x green tea a day. The downsides barely exist and its 10x easier than zero caffeine.
Sustaining 90% of the way to perfect beats 2 weeks of 100% and then 2 weeks of 70% whilst beating yourself up the whole time. Waste of mental energy and focus.
Adherence is everything. Optimizing the last 10% (90->100%) takes disproportionately more effort and isn't worth it IMO.
Negotiate with yourself like you're coaching a family member you love.
