Step 1: Limit Sources of Cheap Dopamine

When I say “cheap” here, I mean dopamine that’s easy to get and will do nothing to improve your life. You need to limit these sources of dopamine as much as possible.

If you’re sabotaging yourself chasing cheap hits, it’ll be physically impossible to use your dopamine productively.

Start small. Remove the smallest and easiest dopamine sources from your life. Things like notifications and TikTok. You’ll live without these. You can also remove:

• Junk food
• Video games
• Drugs and alcohol
