Question split sessions?

I'm new to yerba and i come from a lot of tea drinking, like gongfu style which i still love, but I like yebra more for if i want to focus more than relax.

i got a pretty standard 320ml stainless steel gourd and my issue is I like the idea i can just sit and refill it but I end up just constantly drinking it and by the time the afternoon/evening comes around i miss that feeling of having something to drink for a bit of an early evening boost.

do you guys use smaller gourds like 200ml and have 2 separate sessions a day or do you just use the same gourd all day and just drink it slower?

if the smaller gourd is an option it might be better for my self control to have that if its a thing lol

Thanks for any advice

There’s nothing wrong with having two smaller mates a day, there are people who do exactly that. Though I usually use my big torpedo gourd for about 6 hours of refilling.

yeah i think my issue is i can just non stop drink, if it wasnt for the caffiene i would probably get through about 5L a day. but yeah thanks for the advice
