Can You Take the "Dopamine Fast" Challenge?

[MashaN]

After seeing this I'll give it a go for a full 24 hours at times throughout 2019. Although I'm not sure if I'd give up reading.

I don't think I would find it beneficial to do it frequently. To me the idea is appealing for the purpose of recalibrating the mind. And it seems like a fun experiment.
Limiting social media to 30 minutes per week did some wonders, and to me challenge like this one is just going a step further for the sake of doing it.
