Dopamine Detox

Dopamine Detox
Action Guide
Part I. Dopamine and the role it plays
What are you addicted to? What are your main sources of stimulation and
do they really make you happy?
Part II. The problem
1. The neurotransmitter of more.

Write down a past situation when you couldn’t stop doing something. Were there any
activities you couldn’t stay away from for one whole day? Write it down as well.
2. Your dopamine neurotransmitters are being hijacked.

Complete the prompt below by being as specific as possible:
My brain is being hijacked when…

3. You’re overstimulated.
Write down a specific distraction pattern you often fall into and that leads you to be
in a state of overstimulation. For instance, it could be checking Facebook, then
watching videos on your newsfeed before checking your emails and reading the
news.
4. Tricks your mind plays on you to keep you overstimulated.

Now, rate yourself for each of the following tricks on a scale from 1 to 10 (one mean-
ing you don’t fall for that trap, ten meaning it describes your situation perfectly).
Trick #1—My mind convinces me going back to work is easy
1 10
Trick #2—My mind tells me I can do it later
1 10
Trick #3—My mind makes me believe that excitement is similar to fulfillment
1 10
Trick #4—My mind tells me opportunities are limited

1 10
Part III. The benefits

The different types of dopamine detox
Which type of Dopamine Detox do you want to implement right now?
_____________________________________________________
Part IV. A three-step method to a successful detox

Now, create the simple daily routine you'll follow during your
dopamine detox (and beyond).
1. Identify your biggest temptations and/or distractions and write them down on
the sheet of paper. Then, make sure you put the sheet in a prominent position.
2. Make unwanted behaviors harder to engage in by adding friction.
3. Make desired behaviors easier to engage in by reducing friction.
4. Implement a simple morning routine to calm your mind and start your day with
a low level of stimulation.
MY DAILY ROUTINE
Part V. Doing the work
Write down your daily and weekly goals:
Daily Goals Weekly Goals
Schedule one major task to work on each morning.

Identify your key task and tackle it first thing in the morning—and do this consis-
tently.
Remember to follow the step below to develop laser-sharp focus:
1. Decide a time to focus on your key tasks. Then, make sure you’re at the same
place at the same time each day.
2. Choose a specific trigger to signal the start of your morning routine.
3. Just get started. When you work on your tasks for a few minutes, you’ll be more
likely to enter the flow and keep working longer.
4. Eliminate any distraction (phone notifications, internet etc.), and
5. Finally, work without interruption. Aim to complete (?) forty-five minutes of un-
interrupted work.
Beware of open systems

Write down a few examples of open systems that lead to you becoming distracted.
Then, write down one close system you could implement to help you increase your
productivity.
Open Systems:
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
Close System:
____________________________________________________________________
Part VI. Avoiding “dopamine relapse”
Write down at least one activity you could engage in every day in order to stay calm
and focused.
Commit to a thirty-day challenge.

To benefit from your dopamine detox, I encourage you to implement a simple daily
routine to adhere to for the next thirty days. See it as a 30-day challenge. This will
help you avoid reverting to your old habits as soon as you finish your dopamine
detox.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I hope you’ll make a meaningful use of your time and achieve all your goals
and dreams in the coming years.
Let me wish you all the best with your new endeavors. I’m very much looking
forward to hearing from you.
