How I Learned to Control My Caffeine Consumption – and Built an App

For years, I struggled with managing my caffeine intake. My days often meant long hours fueled by countless cups of coffee, which, while keeping me productive, also led to sleepless nights and a constant feeling of being out of sync.

A Personal Wake-Up Call

One weekend, after yet another restless night, I sat down and realized something had to change. I started tracking my own caffeine habits—when I drank, how much I consumed, and the impact it had on my sleep. The results were eye-opening. I knew there had to be a better way to understand and control my caffeine consumption.

The Weekend Project That Became an App

Determined to find a solution, I began working on a side project—creating Mindful Coffee, an app designed to track caffeine intake and provide clear insights into how it affects sleep and energy levels.

Developing this app was a deeply personal journey. It was about taking control of my own health and sharing something that could help others in the same boat. I learned a lot about the balance between work, life, and health.

Lessons Learned

• Self-Awareness: Tracking my caffeine consumption made me realize how little control I actually had over it.
• Work-Life Balance: Carving out time for personal health can lead to meaningful change.
• Community: I believe sharing my personal journeys can inspire others to reflect on their own habits.

An Invitation to Join Me

I developed Mindful Coffee to help me get my caffeine consumption under control, and now I'd like to share it with you. If you’ve ever wondered how your daily coffee habit might be affecting your sleep or overall well-being, you might find the app helpful.
