The way 77 Codes of Power breaks down human behavior is scary accurate.
I hate that I have to train myself out of this brainrot at such a young age. This is the best advice I've heard in a long while!
1) Take boring breaks. Do NOT do things in your break time that give you MORE dopamine than the tasks you do after your break time. 2) Take control of "In-Between" moments(Waiting for your order, Walking to a bus stop, Standing in line, etc...!) in your daily life where you take out your phone for a quick dopamine hit and replace it with something boring. 3) Do things ONE thing at a time. When you are eating, eat. When you are working, work. Stop multitasking and put full focus on 1 thing whatever it is.
I’ve read a lot of books about power and psychology, but 77 Codes of Power just hits different.
he changed the camera angle every 2-3 sec and added bright colored clips to keep us hooked, now that is the the sign of some professional
Bro this actually changed my life...
I was doing the complete opposite with the pomodoro method. I would force myself to grind through 25 painful minutes of boring work, then “reward” myself with 5 minutes of glory on my phone!! I was training myself to love resting and hate working. And the rest of the world thinks like this too!! I am shook.
Ive come off social media and very quickly, now I CRAVE silence, slowness and peace. When I use my phone, my brain repels it. My dopamine comes when I put my phone down!! Feels good.
Taking boring breaks is actually so helpful. I made the mistake of having exciting breaks that I craved, it's no wonder I didn't want to work.
This is the video which helped me from being lazy , scrolling shorts and reels for 6-6 hrs , wasting time like water..... To be productive, studying for 10-12 hrs , peace of mind and everything!!!! I can't even express how much it helped me ....
this actually makes so much sense. having your brain go through boring moments changes what you find boring... less dopamine normality, easier it is to control what gives you dopamine
Shoutout to this guy for telling me how to un cook myself and lock in on command
THIS IS IT!!! THIS. IS. IT!! THIS IS THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!! THIS IS LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT I'VE NEEDED FOR MONTHS! THANK YOUUU Edit: 10 months later, yes it still works. I go through phases where I need to reapply these principles more frequently according to my needs, and phases where I find it unnecessary for what I've got going on. DYOR
This really hit me—how much of what we call “discipline” is actually just running from discomfort or fear of failure? 🧠 I’ve been rethinking how I motivate myself ever since watching this. Anyone else feel like their drive is more about avoiding pain than chasing purpose?
Dopamine Enigma Unveiled seriously blew my mind. Learning about dopamine optimization and detox completely changed how I approach productivity and focus. Has anyone else here tried applying these techniques? The section on unlocking peak mental performance was a game-changer for me!
This video is what I’ve needed for so long. I’ve accidentally “discovered” all 3 of these methods on my own, and have witnessed their benefit… but never actively applied them… until now. This is huge.
At some point you start realizing the dopamine isn't even that great and chasing it is exhausting. Now staring at a wall feels like a vacation from the futile chase!
An accidental discovery. But a life changing one. No bullsh*t, just straight science backed talk Thank you so much, Rian
"Take boring breaks" is the most important piece of advise I took from this video that's applicable to me.
