Dopamine.
I think I need a dopamine detox plus a large helping of consistent micro habits.
Recently, I have been spending a lot of time on YouTube watching a lot of different videos, usually related to comedy, tech, or gaming,
All of these videos are in English, of course, and I should be listening to media in Korean.
However, I just feel bored.
It doesn’t help that I work from home and don’t get any social interaction.
However, I think I’ve been pumping my brain full of YouTube videos, video games, and random internet browsing to the point that my brain has become accustomed to the higher level of dopamine stimulation.
So what does that mean for my studies and Pahanngana project?
It just doesn’t “feel” fun to study flashcards and listen to audio, even though many years ago I was able to just sit down and study and focus.
I think I need to do a dopamine detox where I don’t watch any YouTube videos, no social media, no random internet browsing, at least for a day to get my brain back to normal.
