How to hack your brain to crave doing hard things.

If you have ADHD, DON'T start with your hardest task. If you do, 1 out of the following 3 will happen: you will get paralised for a long time, you will go into procrastination cycle or you will finish it and have no energy to do anything else. What to do instead? Pick 1 of your easiest tasks but not the easiest of all and do it. That win will give you encouragement to go bigger. Now check if you feels ready for the hardest task, if not, get an intermadiary level task and go for the hardest next. Get more courage with the easiest task. Unless you feel super motivated, always get a few wins before going for something big and try to break it down to easier stuff.

[@Marishelle77]

Omg i have ADHD! Thank you so much for the tip! When i usually have to do a hard task i avoid the thought of accomplishing it, instead i focus on the timer going off and the reward that fallows (Example, doing math i set my timer for 25 minutes, i do the work but keep my attention in completing the 25 minutes of studying, this prevents me from the paralysis effect)

[@ceyyro1844]

how does having adhd refer to this? i mean why is that?

[@beags9995]

what do you mean? adhd is a huge problem for those who have it. it ruins my life and makes it impossible to achieve my dreams which leads to me hiding away in my house and becoming depressed and anxious. we need the extra advice that other people don’t so that we can help make our lives better too.

[@cferracini]

@@ceyyro1844 ADHD is a disorder where the brain works different from "normal brains" (neurotypical). People with ADHD have issues with focus and self regulation including emotional regulation, the brain is also usually unable to work with the idea of long term reaward, so procratination is basically 2nd nature. We (I have ADHD) have issues producing and/or processing dopamine which is the brain chemical that produces that pleasure feeling of accomplishing something and motivating to do it again. So to do the worst task 1st takes a huge effort from someone with ADHD, much more than from a neurotypical and the reaward is unsuficient to keep going if the person is able to finish it. With ADHD the issue isn't just to get started, it's also to keep going because distractions have a bigger hold. But when we start building that motivation with smaller wins, we are usually able to go for the big task just fine. It's like having to cross a bridge to do and finish the task. Neurotypicals might have a couple of planks missing but they jump them and cross the bridge, but the person with ADHD has so many missing planks, they usually need to go to smaller bridges collect planks before going to the big one.

[@Benvezen]

Yeah, definitely. The advices are good for neurotipical but for ADHD we need to approach from different angle for sure. We need momentum to do hard stuff.

[@wenboshan6091]

5 steps to dopamine management 1.Awareness: understand all the furnaces u burn dopamine in 2.Elimination: only use dopamine in the furnace of purpose. Create environment where success is the only option 3.Timing: do the hardest thing first cuz Energy dwindles throughout the day 4.Rewards: live with intention, managing how dopamine enters your life. Eg to engage the default mode networks in brain 5.Recovery:rest end of day and week.

But after this came on my feed i actually wrote out the list and crossed out the things i used my dopamine for. I am taking action becasue of you and not just telling myself. I do workout and play sports but i used that as an excuse to make myself look better but in reality i need much more to be a better person. thank you

The graphics are great but the script was fantastic.

[@chriss361]

Great video as always! But needs some changes for ADHD What applied to me (an ADHDer) No put downs, no performative masculinity, just affirmations of the importance of hard work, and powerful strategies to get there! :) --- How I adapt it: I need a win early in the morning so, I start with one very easy task before my hard task. For me, recently that's been writing a one item checklist to "make a list" and putting that on my nightstand every night. When I wake up, I have to consciously choose to make today worth something and complete the checklist. I don't put everything I have to do, just 3 or 4 items that would likely fall by the wayside and some steps to get there :)

[@randomcat9975]

I absolutely agree with starting with an easy task to get the ball rolling!

My great grandparents were farmers from Russia. They fled to the US during the Bolshevik revolution. My great grandfather’s brother went to Argentina. My great great uncle decided he didn’t like Argentina and went back to Russia…where they starved during the famine. My great grandparents stayed here and worked the sugar beet farms. My great grandmother gave birth to one of her children in the house and promptly walked back outside to continue farming. Maternity leave was a luxury to them, even for a few hours or days. They are some of the toughest people I’ve ever known, though I never had the honor of meeting them. Every day I am grateful for the struggles they survived so that my grandmother, mother, me, and now my two young daughters have the privilege of enjoying. I won’t let their strife be wasted. Your father’s story really touched my heart. Congratulations to him to escaping communist China and making something of himself here so that you could live a better life and give a better life to all of us. Thank you for this - it’s just what I needed. ♥️

[@Cclovercollectiive]

Everyone does wake up with a full amount of dopamine.. where the disconnect is here, is thinking we’re all equipped with a standard quantity. Obviously, no one is identical externally or internally. Plus over time the things we do affect our baseline- someone healthy and happy will have a standard full amount while someone who neglects their sleep, diet, exercise, mental health, or physical health will have a different baseline. Where ever your baseline is, that is full for you. Just need to make changes so your mind & body can regulate itself back to a healthy baseline.

[@xg2513]

I have a few reasons why I keep myself motivated to do hard things. There’s a few things that just always keep the wind in my sails. The first one is that I say anytime I have to do something hard or that I don’t want to do, I have the attitude of “but it would be so cool to be able to say I did it” or “it would be such a good story someday”. Sometimes I’m a bad person and my motivation is “well hardly anyone does this. I wanna be better than them”. If it works it works I guess LOL

[@dayswithtrash]

Absolutely loved the video. I especially liked the furnace analogy. It got me thinking back to some more Zen and Taoist roots. If we have two furnaces in the cold, one of waste that doesn't last long and one of purpose that's farther away but burns for a big while longer, and we need to stay warm, we of course will choose the 2nd option. But what if we get someone who doesn't need the furnaces at all? What of the person who's used to the cold, even enjoys it? I wonder what they represent? Maybe something akin to a sage, a buddha, a jesus figure? A Nietzschean uber Mensch? It's fascinating.

You really brought a good point about desensitization. This instantly-available world makes most of things less valuable just because of how easy they are to obtain (or, like porn, just seeing without actually experiencing it). I really never thought reducing the amount of exposure would increase the satisfaction level of it, it seems so counter-intuitive. I think most people (including me) are currently in the step two of your definitions-- decluttering. We're aware enough that this distraction sucks, not brave enough to ditch them for better things ahead.

Excellent, you should explore on your healthy paternal relationship which is something quite rare and people need to know what it's like.

Key Notes / Takeaways: • Be aware of & write down all bad habits that waste dopamine. • Eliminate all bad habits / dopamine wasters to create an environment where success is the only option, and hard, productive things become your source of pleasure. • Utilize dopamine first thing in the morning. Hardest tasks first. • Pair rewards with hard tasks to rewire your brain to crave doing those hard tasks. • Lack of rest leads to reduced efficiency, poor mental health, and low dopamine power meters. Rest up sufficiently at the end of every day and every week.

[@EtienneUnfolds]

I like this overall message but it doesn’t truly consider the limitations of self motivation and purpose without having an expanded sense of being and belonging. The rejection of the father is not only painful and limiting, but it also betrays our intrinsic capacity and desire to form part of a larger life story. We can always create great stories for ourselves regardless of our circumstances, but adverse childhood experiences often turn stories into long monologues we share only with a select few.

[@EchoYoutube]

Dude, I made crazy improvements and I want to tell you about them. I organized everything you said for the 5 step plan into 5 pages(on my iPad but it could be paper too): 1. Things I waste my time and dopamine on. A list of stuff I do currently that's just destroying my life. These are things I can see and reflect on as my goal to beat. 2. A perfect environment. I have a room in my house that has barely anything in it besides clothes that I've dedicated now as my work space. It has a plug, a single overhead light, a window, and a pillow for me to sit on since I sit in chairs or lie on beds too much, so I need to adjust my position. Im only allowed to have my phone for researching and my iPad for the actual work in there. 3. I made a legit "Power Bar" that I wrote down times of the day on. In the green above everything else when I wake up I have basic stuff like stretching, brushing teeth, eating 1 thing, drinking something, and a shower. Everything below in the yellow to the orange-red is my tasks for the day, which will mainly be in that room I said earlier(and Im prompting myself to take notes always so I can build records of my thoughts and studies for more retention of what I think I grasped(it's like journaling without the aspect of it feeling like a diary since that feels a bit annoying and almost self-centered to me even if I understand its for my own development). In the red I have end of the day stuff like making a meal, spending family time, and getting ready for tomorrow a little before hygiene and bed. 4. I have a Reward Sheet(like a store). It feels so cool. It's a list of "exchanges" I can do for doing certain things, so while it's the middle of the day and I need to work.. I can decide what reward Im going to want, so Ill do the associated task and after im done, I can redeem it! Literally mentally coding doing a long term investment for short term gratification. And I can only redeem one a day, so I can do any of the 4 I have written down in ANY order so my day feels variated and fresh while still having a routine. I even snuck in a special option where if I do 2 hours of skill practice for anything that interests me or I feel inclined to want that day, I get 1 hour of ANYTHING I want.. so it's a special redemption I get once during the day, and I need to be wise about it because it's very freeing. 5. Probably my least favorite on the list, but still important. I have a "Rest" period where monday through Friday ill follow the energy bar guidelines and reward systems, but Saturday I account and prepare for my next week/future days with any unique tasks I need to adjust my new schedule for(shopping, unique appointments, etc), and Sunday I just need to eat, do laundry, do basic life assessment so I can track what I still need to do + how to get there, and manage my hygiene.. and then I can do whatever I want to relax for that day as my "free" day! This 5 step plan seriously seems like it's going to dramatically shift my life and make me a better person. Im truly going to start tomorrow, but today I'll ease into it and prepare that room. This is the day I finally take hold of my unkept life and stop wasting my time like I've done since I was a little child!!! And I have you to thank for it spoon. I have a very privileged life that I've been self-awaringly taking for granted, and I've been a major hypocrite in elaborating in how I want to fix my life yet I dont do anything about it.. but now I feel a new sense of purpose, like a door finally opened that I have the choice to either walk through or ignore again.. and I will not let it close, I'm going to fix my life finally. Bless you, your family, and everyone else here in similar situations to mine. We're going to be okay thanks to people like Spoon.

Love the edits! Very engaging and I learned a very good lesson. If you could maybe make a video about developing a passion, then I would greatly appreciate it! Keep it up!

He works at the Fed. …He learnt that State coercion and aggression are the path to wealth. …’Tis an illustrative tale of immorality inculcated in childhood, and how it persists absent moral philosophy and reflection. Thanks for sharing it.

That story sounded like a fictional allegory... When you suddenly revealed it was your father it was an incredible revelation
