a huge cold brew with extra espresso helps me focus

i guess the focus comes about because the caffeine helps me realize that the little 'side-side quests' are actually meaningless, making the 'real quest' actually attainable (since now there's no 'worthless' things to occupy my time)

Caffeine helps you focus because it's a stimulant and it increases dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain. It's similar to how Ritalin and Adderall work, just weaker.
