How Dopamine Shapes Your Habits and Productivity - Tj Power

Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal

NOTE

Start Your Day Right: Fast from Your Phone and Take Action

To optimize mornings and enhance productivity, it is crucial to fast from your phone immediately upon waking. This prevents the brain from seeking the instant dopamine hit associated with phone use, which can derail the start of the day. Instead, place the phone out of reach, ideally away from the bedside, to minimize temptation. Engage in immediate physical actions such as brushing your teeth, splashing cold water on your face, and making your bed. These activities help to generate dopamine naturally, energizing the mind and body for a more successful day ahead. Aim for a minimum of 15 minutes without phone distraction to set a positive tone for the rest of the day.
