Why does a "5-minute break" always turn into a 2-hour Doom Scrool? 🤳

It’s not a lack of discipline. It’s the Dopamine Gap.

When our brains are "buffering," we reach for the easiest "snack" available—usually doomscrolling. We’re hungry for a hit of focus, but we’re snacking on digital trash.

I’ve started treating my focus like a literal restaurant. Instead of guessing what I need when I'm overwhelmed, I look at my DOPAMINE MENU APP to pick a specific "starter" to get my brain moving.

The result? Less paralysis, more actual progress.

Question for the group:

If you had a literal menu for your brain, what would be your "Chef’s Special"—that one weird activity that actually resets your focus? 🍲
