I dread the day that pornography has a feed like Instagram Reels, where you don't even have to watch one video, but you could watch videos at pace. That would be hell. I shouldn't even give them that idea. Don't give them that idea. My goodness, man. And I believe the only path to coming away from it is very, very deeply observing how it's actually impacting your life.

Because what happens with all this dopamine stuff is you just think, I feel okay. Maybe you do struggle feeling depressed or anxious, and then you really need to start considering how your lifestyle is creating that experience potentially. But a lot of people might feel quite neutral. They're like, I feel all right. It's not really doing too much damage.

they come away from it for a week they say okay seven days i'm just not gonna watch porn and they're like uneasy as to whether that's even gonna do anything for them and they're like i don't really want to lose that like pleasurable experience that i have in my life and you rapidly see a change in motivation and attention when you come away from it you really quickly see the ability to just take action on whatever you're wanting to do like i want to go to the gym i want to go for a walk in the morning so apparently they're good for you or i want to work hard you see a shift and it's simply because like just before you're going to sleep

in that nice regenerative dopamine experience of sleep, just before that, you're just having this huge spike crash off sleep and you're waking up with a lower dopamine level.

Yeah, I think that definitely starts with you finish your work. I think it's extremely important. So you finish your work, say 5, 6 p.m. The first check in I would do is make sure you have some short 60 second or so short reflection of your day that helps you to celebrate the progress that has occurred.

So the first thing, quick reflection, very simple way to do that would literally just be to look back at your tasks list or look back at your calendar and think, okay, cool, I've done this, I've done a podcast, we've done some meetings or whatever it may have been. then I think you need a period of time away from wherever you were working.
