How I hacked my dopamine to train and reward desired work behaviors and halt procrastination

[Paul David]

So how's it going after 10 days of die hard tagulating @ExaltedLife
Are the dopamine triggers working out for you?
I have lots of experience with this tagulator+dopamine trigger system since I read this thread. Gonna write some experiences down if there's still people following this.

Would love to hear them!

"I don’t understand the dopamine thing. Does this mean I will have to read that stupid long Dopamine thread?"

That went off the rails a few days back.

Your talk about dopamine like it is synonymous with endorphin. DopaMine actually is always related to restricting neurotransmission. Your model here makes more sense if you use endorphin instead.

Ok so I obviously have very rudimentary knowledge about all this. I've gotten this far through feeling in the dark, but more precise knowledge would definitely benefit me.

What is the difference between dopamine and endorphin?

I thought dopamine was an endorphin. Well, more properly, I thought dopamine was a neurotransmitter, and I thought "endorphins" were a different word for neurotransmitters.

I've never heard that dopamine has a restricting function. What does that mean or what are the mechanics of it? My understanding was that dopamine is released to create a feeling of reward and pleasure.

I would love to actually look into this deeper if I am off track.

Shhh... we need to speak very quietly around here .... see #26 here for user friendly info. No, the d-word is an inhibitor. Endorphin is more useful.

Your intuition effectively created a sensory feedback loop to prevent restlessness due to low stimulation.
Working online poses that risk compared to working with printouts.

Hi, I mentioned the connection between perceived exhaustion at the workplace or entrpreneurial exhaustion and loneliness. The source is in the book, "Dare to Lead."

Can that book help cure loneliness?

you have to dress it up like a person

I don't understand what you are saying. But a book called Intimate Connections helped me a lot!

hey @Bekit ,

I am having trouble with discipline and getting work done but don't want to reward it with food or unhealthy stuff.

do you have any ideas for rewards?
