A method, but no reason, for killing yourself

If you don't know for damn sure, or you've never put in a ninety-five hour week, this is not for you. This could cause you to have a heart attack or otherwise harm you. For the people employing some method like this, I wanted to share the least-impact combination I have yet to find while still enjoying the benefits of hyperwork.

In the morning, ingest:

• 240mg of Gingold brand Ginkgo extract (that's four pills)
• 200mg of Caffeine in the form of pills like No-Doz (coffee will sour in your stomach)
• Some kind of caffeinated tea. I like Earl Grey and Assam.
• A beverage with a "B-stack." Vitamins B, especially B12, are great for stimulation for force your endocrine system to work with the full-on assault you've just hit it with. Most energy drinks will have it and proudly label it. You may want to take a single No-Doz in addition to a full-size (12-16floz, not the 8oz ones) drink (I really like the Blue agave Full Throttle, but Coca-Cola is aids and I feel guilty giving them money. Glacieau makes "Energy Water," the three of which you should pay attention to are Spark (pink), Energy (yellow; drink cold; actually has caffeine, guarana, and a B-stack, which is sometimes called 'B-100'), and Revive (purple, for tomorrow morning). I sometimes take a separate, individual B-12 pill.
• And lastly, you need some food or you will vomit all this stuff up. I reach for the PowerBar Protein Plus, which advertise 30g of protein and not just 30g, but three different kinds of protein. I tell you, after the first one, I was convinced. They're a good 6-8 hours of calories at the level you'll be operating, and you'll feel full. By the time you're reaching for your second set (below), have another and you'll be good for sixteen hours.

And I mean right when you wake up. When you're taking the pills, heat 500ml (about 2 cups) of water to just under boiling and add it to your tea. Let it steep for the 5-15 minutes it takes you to shower. Wolf down the tea. It will protect your guts. As you leave for the day, or sit down in your home office to work, have the following near you:

• Excedrin. Take up to three pills at a time, but not more than 4-5 hours apart. Caffeine is more effective with Aspirin, and I presume the Ginkgo as well.
• (if you have it) Provigil. Take up to two pills at a time. Caffeine has a 6-8 hour period before "crash" (and that crash is so hard afterwards this second regimen may not work at all). Provigil has an 8-hour crash profile, keep that in mind. It sharpens the mind without harming the body (that we know of).
• (if you have it) a benzodiazepine. NOT halcyon, xanax, or ativan. But with the stimulation you're receiving, your body will want to twitch on you and the typical paranoia, headache, and worry will set in. Take a lot less than your normal dose or you will fall asleep because right now your body wants to sleep. We are still tricking it chemically, remember?
• More Gingko. Instead of the monster doses, take them two at a time every few (3-4) hours, especially if you feel dull. Almost nothing is going to rescue you from being tired, but the above will help with shakes and anxiety that come with the territory of working multiple (even one) eighteen hour day.
• Another power bar.
• I carry the Gatorade G2/Electrolytes tubes (they're like Crystal Light, but come in pen-shaped tubes) with me and as such, I can get Gatorade whenever I like. Gatorade, ironically (because of the salt and sugars–the G2 is better with sugar) leaves you dehydrated. Which is really good for you because you must be taking in at least 500ml (again, two cups or thereabouts). I try to keep a litre going through me an hour.

You'll be urinating a lot, but you will be amazed at what the body and brain will do for you when provoked. I've sustained this sort of pace for eighteen hours, times three days. Afterwards, I slept for about twelve hours. Like a baby. I woke up refreshed, happy, and was positively itching to rewrite a fractal arrays perl module into vectors. Insane, right? My wife was very understanding, and I love her for that. She saw what I was accomplishing. And, really, I got a hell of a lot accomplished.

For my previous recipe, I treated the nights instead of the day. To quote,

• 5 oz captain morgan's private stock
• 4 oz bacardi 151
• 4 oz myers legend (or myers dark) rum

 You'll have to read the rest there, but it's a doozie, and I think I am too old to drink it anymore.
