So my entire life has been extreme boredom, followed by finding a book/videogame/hobby I find interesting, doing nothing but that for awhile, then never touching it again.

I’m debating maybe trying to make a rule of not doing something two days in a row. Like I just found a video game I liked and played it all day yesterday and today, and while I still wanna play I already feel its shininess wearing off.

Curious if anyone else has tried to space out their dopamine buttons and if it helped. So maybe like instead of just playing the same game tomorrow, I’ll need to try other games, or maybe try to find a new book series to hyper focus on…

    I use things I enjoy like that as a treat.
    So, let’s say I have 4 hours of free time after work and before bed, and a bunch of things on my ToDo list.
    Then I make a deal with myself that I work on my ToDos for 2 hours and then play that video game for the remaining 2 hours.
    That way I am reasonably productive and limit my gaming to a level where I won’t burn out.
