I put every article into my backlog and never end up reading it.
That way, I can get all the satisfaction and dopamine rush of indicating my interest in reading something intellectual without actually doing any of the work to read.
It’s fantastic.
- minhaz23 9y agoIve come to understand this is inherently bad, right? Anything that raises your dopamine level and constantly seeking that rush by doing that behavior, when really its just a time kill? So what can we do to combat this? How can we better avoid this? Whats a better alternative? To stay away from the computer? To just read a few articles in depth and miss out on the rest? How do you combat the FOMO of information you might be able to capitalize on? Hope my question makes sense and someone has some answers!
