Easy rewards, fast dopamine, zero effort. And once your brain gets used to that, everything else starts to feel boring. Studying feels hard, working feels exhausting, even simple tasks feel like a burden. So here’s a simple change that can shift your mindset. For the first 30 minutes after waking up, avoid your phone. No scrolling, no social media. Just sit with your thoughts, stretch, plan your day, or do something calm.
