Today I realized something important: procrastination isn’t just about being “lazy” or “undisciplined.” It’s heavily tied to dopamine. Every time we scroll endlessly on TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram, our brain gets little dopamine hits. The problem is that these quick hits make it harder to focus on long-term, meaningful work that doesn’t give the same instant reward. That’s why opening a doc to work on a project can feel so much harder than opening an app to scroll. Some ways I’ve thought about to fight this: - Reduce instant triggers: delete or limit apps that keep pulling you in (check the Screen Time app to identify). - Use grayscale mode: turn on the black-and-white filter on iPhone so the colors on your screen don’t overstimulate your brain. - Make your iPhone a “dumb phone”: activate Assistive Access (found under Settings > Accessibility > Assistive Access). This lets you choose only the essential apps you need and still receive phone calls, but removes other distractions. - Replace with healthy dopamine: exercise, cold showers, learning something new, or even a short walk outside. - Make work rewarding: break tasks into baby steps. Each small win gives your brain that “checkmark” reward. - Set rules for yourself: e.g. “No social media until after I’ve done my deep work block.” Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend using it at all unless you’re actively creating or making money with it. We need to be more aware of our usage so we don’t get dragged in and lose control. This is something I’m still experimenting with - trying to find a system I can keep forever, not just something I switch on when I need to post content, only to turn it all off again and get hooked back on social media for weeks. I definitely feel the difference when I manage my dopamine instead of letting it manage me. Also, always try to follow one simple rule in life: create more than you consume. - Sell more things than you buy. - Create more content than you watch. - Move your body more than you sit still. - Share more value than you take in.

Hey everyone 👋 I wanted to take a moment to share a bit of my own journey and set the stage for what this community is about. A few years ago, I was in the same place many of you are right now - wanting to get fit, build new habits, start a business, and create more freedom in life. It wasn’t easy at first. I had to learn how to stay consistent, push through doubts, and build routines that actually stick. The reason I built this community is because growth is so much easier when you’re not doing it alone. Here’s what we’ll focus on together: - Accountability Systems: challenges, routines, and group check-ins so it’s almost impossible to lose. - Fitness & Health: how to lose weight and build energy through small, consistent steps. - Personal Development: practical tips to focus, manage time, and build momentum (whether it’s for a thesis or business idea). - Freedom & Lifestyle: strategies to create more options in life — travel, independence, and living on your own terms. - Online $$$: how to build income streams that let you live anywhere and travel long-term. - Spiritual Grounding: daily practices that keep you centered while chasing big goals. - Life Hacks & Lessons: real strategies and shortcuts to make faster progress. - My Wrestling Journey: training, mindset, and what it really takes to win. This isn’t just a place to scroll through posts. It’s a system built to help every member stay consistent, crush goals, and keep leveling up. With accountability, support, and real strategies, everyone here gets better, together. 🌍💪✨ 💡 Pro tip for today: Start with one small, non-negotiable habit. Don’t try to change everything at once. For example: - If you want to lose weight → start with a daily 20-minute walk. - If you’re writing a thesis → commit to 25 minutes of focused writing a day. - If you’re starting a business → talk to one potential customer this week. Small wins build trust in yourself - and that’s where transformation starts.
