Food & Productivity Snack: Beating the 11am dip

Somewhere between breakfast and lunch there is a point where you may start to feel drowsy. Especially if you're a modest break-fast eater like me, you might be bothered by a productivity dip around 11AM. Personally, I hate 'm because they're interfering with my plans for the day.

When you run out of fuel and get stranded on the side of the road, you call triple-A. Instead, a lot of people (especially office workers) call upon Triple-C: Coffee, more coffee and yes… even more coffee. Probably not the best thing you can do for yourself, even though it might get you through another 30 minutes or so. To stay with the car-metaphor, don't put stuff in your tank you know is going to ruin your engine. You know well enough what your human-engine runs best on.

So if you're a modest breakfast-eater like me, be sure to bring some decent fuel with you to your workplace. I'm not saying you should whip out a banana while you're giving a business presentation, but having some fruit instead of coffee will keep your mind just as sharp.
