#dopamine feedback loop

[mechaira]

I need to come up with a way to induce a dopamine feedback system for just doing tasks that take a bit longer, I think lol

I’ve been trying to write some video scripts, but I keep getting distracted by working on my Vroid model, because the dopamine hits faster when I make a braid on my model then when I finish a script & then still have to do the recording an editing.

And seeing how I’ve just worded that, I do think I’ve encountered half the problem XD Probably would help to few the script as one cohesive finished item that allows access to the next cohesive finished item, the same as making a braid vs making the whole model.

But regardless, people with concentration issues- what are your systems? Do you do what I outlined above? Do you have some external reward set up? Bc I’m trying to figure something out, but clearly I need another system lol

And we did it anyway.”
