Answer 1

Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:32  Set focused work sessions for about 90 minutes or less, aligning with our brain's ultradian cycles for optimal performance.
01:28 ⚙️ Acknowledge the initial 5-10 minutes as a transition period before deep focus; occasional loss of focus is normal, but actively bring it back.
02:25  After a focused session, engage in deliberate defocus for at least 10-30 minutes, focusing on menial tasks, to recharge and maintain productivity.
03:23  Avoid phone use during deliberate decompression to allow the mind to idle and recharge, essential for sustained focus.
04:20  Recognize the importance of sleep as the ultimate form of restoration, complementing the decompression after focused bouts for overall well-being.

Answer 8

I happen to live with incurable heavy pain from many injuries.  I struggle terribly with just trying to get myself through the day,…but, on top of this ….when I finally do get my pain down and under control for a time…..I have zero motivation and I really hate this.  I’m looking for the way to HELP this.  I look at my house and a 100 things need doing but, I feel NUMB.
Before this happened to me,…I was always going and doing and I MISS having that SO MUCH.
Life is a battle….these to enormous problems  in my life EVERY DAY,….makes my life more like a WAR every day!!!
Any advice? Please?

I'm in the same boat...after an injury I haven't been the same. I have no advice or answers, just wanted to let you know you're not alone.  It's hard to watch other people get so much done and it really is depressing to think the life I used to know is over. I just keep trying new things, like this video, and live one day at a time and hope things improve. Hang in there

Answer 10

Answer 11

I have ADHD, Anything I do to try to raise mine I get a sour feeling in my stomach. It is HARD to figure out. I really do not want to take meds like concerta.   I am getting ready to try tyrosine and magnesium together. I already workout and live a very healthy lifestyle. Get plenty of sleep.. water... all of that.    I just cannot get this dopamine to come back!    I feel ok, but...no excitement, no drive.

Answer 12

Go outside when you wake up.
Get moving! The World Health Organisation recommends 5 hours of exercise a week. This may seem like a lot, but it is our current sedentary lifestyle that is the problem.
If you're depressed and can't do anything, see a doctor!

Answer 13

Depending on where you live, getting that morning sunlight when you wake up might be difficult, even harder during winter time. What would you advice to people not being able to get that morning sunlight as soon as they wake up ? Are those artificial sunlight lamps something to be considered ?

Comments

I think vitamin D

---

Get yourself one of those lamps with at least 10,000 lumens!!?! I got one and have it on my desk. It's specifically for s.a.d, depression, etc gotta make sure you turn it on every damn day without fail.

---

He said these are second best, of course, actual sunlight is the best.  I'm in Pittsburgh so winter here or even fall sucks for light lol

---

Yes so what's his take on people living in Alaska - sun non existent.
Not here in sweden neither

---

I have a UVA - ultraviolet light - that goes on in my office first thing and stays on until sunset.

Answer 14

Tyrosine is an amino acid not enzyme - still important but wanted to clarify. You can buy it in supplement form

Answer 15

In my personal opinion the answer is Love ..without true genuine love in a person life this can cause depression

Answer 16

Meditation is so much more than a 'focusing exercise'....

Answer 17

Is cold immersion not a thing anymore?
Suggested of some stuff that appears to work on myself and others exercising similar patterns I would like to see some studies and discussion on all kinds of hardship - hard physical work, unpleasant circumstances and obstacles in general requiring willpower and great effort to overcome - framed in positive mindset (meaning, believing it is worth it despite the struggle).

Comments

His focus may be more on baseline Dopamine rather than the boost of cold water (or hot saunas).
