Want a quick dopamine detox hack?
Treat your phone like a landline that never leaves your desk.
I just started doing this because I was on my phone all the time.
Like watching porn, time would slip by, and I’d be surprised when I realized three hours had passed.
I was on my phone from early in the morning until late at night, carrying it everywhere I went.
Now it sits on my desk, plugged in.
The visual of the wire plugged into the phone helps me see it as a landline.
It’s tethered to my desk instead of being an extension of my hand.
What’s been interesting is simply noticing how often I reach for it.
I want to check it.
I want to see what’s going on in the world.
It’s uncomfortable, but not unbearable.
If you’re trying to quit porn, I recommend giving this a try.
It helps break the automatic habit of needing to instantly feel better the moment we’re bored or stressed.
You’ll feel better, and you’ll get your time back.
