No, I don’t mean coffee (though I love that too).  Caffeine, the Mac app, adds a little icon in your menu bar.  Click on it and your computer won’t automatically go to sleep.  Click again and it’s back to normal.

I love this because, for security reasons, I’m required to have my computer auto-lock after 10 minutes of non-activity.  That gets annoying when someone comes in the office for a meeting.  Every few minutes I’m rushing to move the mouse before it hits auto-lockout. 

This app fixes that problem entirely. Just click on the little coffee cup in the menu bar and it won’t sleep.  Just need to be sure to unclick after meetings, so it actually does lock if I leave my office.

I love the icon too.  There’s something about a hot cup of coffee that is very attractive to the eye.
