Right before I head off to work each day, I'll play a game of SC2, BW, or, if I'm in a hotel and away from my home computer, Pawngame (a 2-d Flash multiplayer shooter) to assess whether or not I'm awake. If I don't win or feel that I'm not mentally "warmed up" enough, I'll drink some red bull and then go to work; otherwise, I'll drink water.

Does anyone else do this? And do you analogize your clients' strategies like Starcraft?

EDIT: I am a strategy consultant with Bain/BCG/Mck.

Jaedong beats other players. Bisu beats other players, in PL. Flash beats Starcraft.

You play a game where you shoot Flash?
Link pls.
Right now.

What do you desire? Money? Glory? Power? Revenge? Or something that surpasses all other? Whatever you desire - that is here. Tower of God ¦¦Nutella, drink of the Gods

I immediately thought of Inception when I read that phrase.

Is this a dream or real life? Test it out with a game of Starcraft.

That sounds so unappealing to me... I don't want to get involved in a game right before I'm going to work... I won't be able to concentrate on it. Also the game could go long and make me nervous about running late...

Also having redbull because you are tired in the morning on any type of regular basis is probably a bad idea.

Good point, I usually wake up around six to compensate.

What sort of health effects do you think might happen?

No idea. You can read this for ideas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull#Health_effects

But even if the physical health effects aren't a problem I'd still argue that needing a drink in the morning to make you more 'awake' becomes a dependency (just like coffee but obviously a lot of people do that so you aren't alone).
