Dopamine Detox : A Short Guide to Remove Distractions and Train Your Brain to Do Hard Things (Productivity Series Book 1)

by Thibaut Meurisse

Dopamine detox describes the following process: The reduction of stimulation to prevent overstimulation and put you in the proper state of mind to tackle major tasks. Quick disclaimer: Scientifically speaking, the term “dopamine detox” is incorrect as it seems to imply that you’re releasing too much dopamine into your system. In truth, when you’re overstimulated, you simply need more external stimuli for the same amount of dopamine to be released. A dopamine detox helps reduce stimulation, thereby allowing you to revert to a more natural state. When you need less stimulation, seemingly challenging, boring or tedious tasks will become more appealing—and easier to tackle. Now, let’s have a look at the different types of dopamine detox available. In this book, I will introduce you to three distinct types as below: The 48-hour complete dopamine detox. The 24-hour dopamine detox. The partial dopamine detox.
