I came across a video which was about dopamine. The idea is that it is impossible to do a dopamine detox because doapmine is essential to our neurochemistry. We can’t function without it. Instead of dopamine detox resetting the dopamine cycle to normal settings will enable you to do your daily tasks again. One comment summarized it so well that I wrote it in my diary (with some modifications).

  1. Take boring breaks. (The breaks should not be more dopamine inducing than your main work.)
  2. Take control of “in-between” moments in your daily life where you take out your phone for a quick hit and replace it with something boring.
  3. Do one thing at a time. If you are eating, just eat, don’t listen to music or start an intellectual discussion. If you are cooking, just cook without listening to any kind of music.
