I am not a morning person, despite being up and about before 7am every day of summer so far. Something about my brain makes it only efficient after a long warm up and stretching routine... I don't even trust myself to take a meeting until I've had a coffee.

But when I have my morning coffee, especially when I pay a barista to make it for me with nice beans and multiple shots, and I start to consume it, I get this overwhelming feeling of clarity and alertness. I feel completely energised, like I can complete all the tasks on my to-do list, follow every entrepreneurial whim to profitability, and masterfully produce any creative pursuit that crosses my mind.

This feeling only last about 15 minutes, and unfortunately I typically spend all of that time on the toilet.
