Dopamine?

I don’t know if this is the answer you expect, but you can try it with a dopamine detox.

In simple terms, this simply means: you remove all the “artificial dopamine sources”, i.e. things that give you a lot of dopamine in an unnatural way, such as social media, from your everyday life. The biggest problem is that, for example, the consumption of social media is extremely fast, extremely much dopamine, which means that your brain doesn’t see any sense in doing something else – which potentially requires more effort and at the end has less dopamine.

However, if you lower this bar, you tend to have more motivation for things that give less dopamine, for example sports or something productive.

It is important to mention: can work, but don’t have to. As far as I know, there are clear scientific evidence that this works, but you can try it out.
