They're boring. They're tedious. And you really have to cut out most [[Low-Value High-Dopamine Activities]] from your day. Because once you've gotten a satisfying hit from, say, browsing Reddit or checking Instagram, READING or HAVING A DIFFICULT CONVERSATION will absolutely, no question be the last thing you wanna do.
