1) Take boring breaks. Do NOT do things in your break time that give you MORE dopamine than the tasks you do after your break time. 2) Take control of "In-Between" moments(Waiting for your order, Walking to a bus stop, Standing in line, etc...!) in your daily life where you take out your phone for a quick dopamine hit and replace it with something boring. 3) Do things ONE thing at a time. When you are eating, eat. When you are working, work. Stop multitasking and put full focus on 1 thing whatever it is.

[@Joy3487]

Have you tried? Did it help?

[@Andreas-gh6is]

There's no science behind this, there is no dopamine detox. The thing that may be working behind those is "mindfulness", and that's been around for almost three thousand years. By the way: If these things work, it's not because "dopamine sensitivity has been reduced". Most of the time, people are naturally coming into a more productive/energetic/healthy phase, then they start doing things like this (which require more energy) and it suddenly "works". But cause and effect are hard to distinguish in "testimonials" and narcissistic influencers.

[@jay.ostojic]

so true haha, he knows his audience XD

[@hanzflackshnack1158]

Cynical way of looking at it is it was formatted to do the same thing as every other video on YT: Give us a dopamine hit for numbers and retention. 'Self help' is a multi-billion dollar industry and it isn't because it helps people. It's because our brain gets dopamine from feeling like we changed even though we didn't actually do anything. Apps and video games also profit off of a false sense of progress. We've all heard everything he's saying and yet here we are unchanged and in the comments section (the real reason we're here) Tricky tricky

[@nivk9445]

The "take less dopamine induced breaks" point opened my eyes. It's crazy I never looked at it like that before. "Do NOT do things in your break time that give you MORE dopamine than the tasks you do after your break time." Very very insightful and action packed video. Thank you.

Another thing about discipline is viewing yourself as disciplined envisioning yourself being disciplined doing things you envision that version of yourself doing. But this is good information. To just there are way to sort of supercharge the speed at which you reach a certain point and that’s from active repetition visualization and yea this advice about making things less dopamine filled is good to. The thing is you need a bit of discipline to initially star5 engaging with taking these steps in the video. If you don’t have discipline you “can’t” handle not scrolling, etc… you need a little discipline to start doing those tasks then from there it becomes easier, and discipline begets more discipline ultimately.

[@KosstAmojan]

It's something like a virtuous addiction. Most of the drugs people become dependent on are triggering a large release of dopamine (hence the slang name "dope"), or other neurochemicals that are part of flow. However the drugs can only trigger one or two. The flow cycle, on the other hand, triggers _all_ of them. It's a cocktail that's way more addictive than any single or pairing of its ingredients. Once you experience it, you crave it more than even drugs. So you start chasing flow for another taste of the cocktail. To anyone on the outside looking in, it looks like you have superhuman discipline. In reality you just have your inner junkie on a tight leash.

@@preacher3451Friend, I agree with you on all of this. But aren’t you forgetting an essential component? Baptism. When you are baptized (for the remission of your sins) your body of sin is put to death with Christ and raised up with Him (Roman’s 6:1-6), as a new creation IN Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Now I’m not saying baptism is a work of men, but rather it is a work of God (Ephesians 2:8-10) (James 2:20-24). I completely agree with you that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus, but we’ve been taught that faith without works is dead. Thus forth when we decide to be baptized, we are just simply obeying what He has commanded us (Mark 16:16) what we must do in order to come into contact with the cleansing power of the blood through Baptism :). In order to be saved. For we were taught in (1 Peter 3:21) (NKJV) “…There is also an antitype which now saves us-baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,…” We are taught in (Galatians 3:27) “For as many of you as were BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST have PUT ON Christ.” If you have any questions please contact :) God bless ❤

[@FrilledMayfly_AmberlyFerrule]

As I've been trying to improve my mental health one thing I started doing was trying to do only one thing at a time. The reasoning was that too much stimulation (multitasking, constant input like music or videos, social media) was one of the things making my brain overly jumpy and causing constant anxious thoughts and, if gone unnoticed for too long, would lead to panic attacks. I'm still in a "transition period" but it has been helping a LOT, and wow, this video is exactly what I needed to actually get work done. "boring breaks" is definitely what I need, I even sort of started doing those by just sitting and doing absolutely nothing as another way to minimize that terror of being alone with my thoughts. If i stop giving my brain constant information to process, it'll settle back down. Funny how I was kinda doing what this video was saying, but for completely different reasons! Time to actually get things done then...!

The gospel, or the Good News, is the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. It tells us that all humans are sinners and separated from God because of our sinful nature. However, God loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. .. . Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life, yet He willingly took the punishment for our sins upon Himself. He died on the cross, paying the price for our wrongdoing, and three days later, He rose from the dead, demonstrating His power over sin and death.. . .,Through faith in Jesus and His sacrifice, we can receive forgiveness of sins and be reconciled to God. Salvation is a free gift that cannot be earned through our own efforts or good works. It is by God's grace alone that we are saved. ,. To receive this gift of salvation, we must repent of our sins, turn to God, and place our faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We can have assurance of eternal life and a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. , Romans 6:23 states that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord..

This isn't the usual but lately and by lately I mean around the beggining of this week I've been noticing my attention span shortening. I don't know how I'm even aware of it. And I started to crave social media in times were I would just focus on for example, eating, cooking, working out, doing homework. I noticed this when I ate because my mindset is, when I eat I just eat but that sudden change came and I was like, "Okay we're are having an un-familiar problem. I might need a social media-detox." I believe if I implement everything in this video I might not only return to my usual self but infact improve myself. Thank you for the clear information. This is clearer than those videos on saying, "How to actually do your work" "How to be more diciplined" "How to do whatever important task you've been procrastinating on and actually finish it."

[@oktnbok]

the issue is that I take big joy in just laying in bed for hours doing nothing but thinking. I reduced my phone time to less than 2h a day and I still get nothing done.

[@domenichaberer5713]

yeah there might be plenty of different reasons for that, life is complicated :/ i just have one idea that is true for me and was wondering if it maybe applies for you. sth that i learned about myself in therapy: just as social media, drugs or anything that gives dopamine FANTASIES can be addictive as well. while i was always proud of my creativity and thinking through a lot of stuff to do things right (or rather avoid conflict maybe), i came to the conclusion that (just like with any addiction) the dependence and ratio of that, of time spent with daydreaming or overthinking was just not healthy, not balanced. oftentimes "doing nothing" or going for a walk didn't do anything for me because i just fled from reality and get my dopamine by fantasiesing... so we got to change our way of thinking as well. learning to truly rest is what im on atm. i should continue meditating, its important for me to learn how to focus and let go of thoughts. its not going super well tbh but i guess it takes time. hope that helped you or someone else maybe, good night:)

[@oktnbok]

@@domenichaberer5713 I absolutely agree with everything you say. I'm prone to getting obsessed (not necessarily addicted I'd say) to things very easily. not always for a long time but for a certain time frame I get really into it. I use daydreaming as an escape, sometimes it's hard to get out of it again. and I'm starting to approach that point again where I prefer daydreaming about social interaction over actual social interaction. I mean it's probably good I spend less time on my phone but it's not like I spend my time any more productively. I just found different ways to procrastinate.

[@I_am_the_alpha123]

Maybe just try and make a morning routine - and make some goals for the day. But don’t make it too unachievable/different to how you currently do. E.g. if you regularly get out of bed at 12 try and say at 11:15 you will get up, have a glass of water, have a shower, get dressed and eat breakfast. And the goal is that by 1 o’clock you have tidied your room a little bit - or gone for a run. Once you make productivity a part of your routine you will see, over time, how you can change habits and continue to become more productive

I thankfully resided and trained in MONASTERIES and have realized that My focus is so sequential now that it’s kind of a handicap. Worked for weeks to finish a patent application and filed it, but then the patent office website had an error and that office has been closed for the HOLIDAYS, but My main focus is till on making sure that is finished…although seemingly may be necessary to wait until the patent office opens to actually get that done. Yet I still am focused on completing that task instead of starting another major task. That is what I am talking about.

Love the content Rian. Perfect balance between science and application. Summary: Power of Dopamine: - Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that makes you want to do more - Master your dopamine to master focus - Cheap dopamine desensitizes your dopamine receptors (tiktok, tv, games, junk food, etc) - Re-sensitize your dopamine receptors to make boring work interesting How to Re-sensitize Dopamine Receptors: - Take boring breaks (walk, stretch, wall stare - don't tiktok, watch tv, use phone - avoid breaks that give you more dopamine than the task) - Inhabit the in between (silent walks, observe breath when waiting, etc - don't use phone) - Do everything one at a time, don't multi-task

By far the best video I've watched regarding this polarizing topic. I finally have enough knowledge to liberate myself from this mind-numbing routine.

Get off the internet more and take control of your subconscious through conscious action. The decisions may prove difficult, but are necessary in the long term for fostering a satisfying life. Otherwise, misery will continue to spiral. If anyone's reading this, please go for a walk or do anything better than mindless consumption of content you've already watched.

This is great advice and I've been preaching quitting social media to my friends and family for a few months now. Here are my list of dopamine-riddled habits that we might not notice: 1. porn - find a significant other to satisfy your sexual needs 2. social media - call a friend and have a conversation 3. alcohol/nicotine/weed - quit Another one is caffeine that might be controversial because it is so built into some peoples daily lives and culture. However it is still cheap stimulation and should be used in moderation (1-2 cups a day with monthly tolerance breaks).

I think this is great advice for people who are depressed too because when we're depressed we crave lots of dopamine. Normalizing and adjusting to the amount of boringness that we have in our schedule sounds like a great idea. Who knew the answer could be so obvious.

[@Akimb321]

"Embrace life as a series of singular activities rather than scattered efforts to secrete dopamine through constant novelty seeking" Really great advice, will put this in my quote list :) Thanks for the video!

[@md82892]

Here is a summary of the key points from the video: - Dopamine is the "molecule of more" that drives us to seek rewards and stimulation. But overstimulation can desensitize us to dopamine's effects. - To resensitize ourselves to dopamine, we should take boring breaks, inhabit the in-between moments without stimulation, and focus on one thing at a time. This boosts impulse control and makes tasks more rewarding. - Take breaks that are more boring than your work. Go for a walk, stare at a wall, etc. Don't distract yourself with your phone. - Inhabit the in-between moments by just being present instead of constantly seeking stimulation. - Do one thing at a time with full focus. This strengthens your ability to shift into an attentive state and makes tasks more engaging. - Mastering your dopamine system this way can make the boring rewarding. You can achieve flow states more easily and turn work into play. In summary, we should avoid overstimulation, take boring breaks, focus singularly, and resensitize ourselves to dopamine in order to boost productivity, focus, and flow.

The gospel, or the Good News, is the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. It tells us that all humans are sinners and separated from God because of our sinful nature. However, God loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. .. . Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life, yet He willingly took the punishment for our sins upon Himself. He died on the cross, paying the price for our wrongdoing, and three days later, He rose from the dead, demonstrating His power over sin and death.. . .,Through faith in Jesus and His sacrifice, we can receive forgiveness of sins and be reconciled to God. Salvation is a free gift that cannot be earned through our own efforts or good works. It is by God's grace alone that we are saved. ,. To receive this gift of salvation, we must repent of our sins, turn to God, and place our faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We can have assurance of eternal life and a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. , Romans 6:23 states that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.. Thanks for reading, Godbless you. !

Ive been doing this without realizing. I literally get withdrawals for the gym like when i used to smoke cigs, weed or masturbate. Once i removed all of them, i began to get dopamine from writing, the gym and learning. I will literally practice jump roping for hour's for fun, hit the gym and wanna stay even when I'm done. All while working 40-50 hours a week. If I want some other form of entertainment I always read everyday. Tl;dr: just remove all sources of dopamine such as drugs, cigs, pornography, reduce screen time and replace the addictions with good things 😊

How did you start doing it? The vid says thats what we should do, doesn't say how initially we do the deciding to do the boring thing instead of looking at our phone for ex. Because the process is not a straightforward, i decided not to look at my phone. I get this craving to look, It is an addiction. How did you naturally end up stopping with the fun things? can you share?

@@nesconcen3427 I replaced it all with fun productive activies. Such as keeping a diary, actively going on hiking trails to get fresh air and stay active, reading and gradually decreased the things I did overtime. Doing it all at once is rough so I just lessened it over and over until finally instead of dreading doing these things, it became something I NEED and WANT to do. It doesn't seem fun at first. That's why you need willpower. Tell yourself you're changing. Create an image of you in six months to a year, how you look, talk, what you know etc. I want to be fit, decent at boxing. Able to speak my native language more fluently and read and write it. Run for 6 miles straight, etc. The list goes on. Add to it as you go, and that mental image will keep you going.
