What has happened to today's world?

Everyone is glued to their screen. 

Including you, {{first_name}}… right? 😅

I know you can relate to that image. 

I also know that you are stuck in this endless loop of instant gratification. 

Wake up → Notifications → Instagram → Scroll → Work → Scroll again.

And everytime you try to break the loop you end up back to square one…Right?

So In the next 24 hours, you can reset your focus and stop reaching for your phone every few minutes.

I’ll give you the exact action plan below.

But first you must know what is HAPPENING inside your brain and WHAT caused it. 

The truth is…

We are reprogrammed by multi-billion dollar apps to seek fast dopamine.

In 2019 our brain adopted a new level of stimulation. 

Because during Covid, average screen time increased by 60–80%.

As a result our habits conditioned without us knowing it. 

You wake up —> Your hand goes to your phone.

You feel bored —> Your hand goes to your phone.

You finish a task —> Your hand goes to your phone.

This is habit conditioning.

Your brain learned…

“When I feel even a little uncomfortable, I escape.”

So now even GOOD things like…

Working out. Studying. Writing. 

…feel harder than usual.

Because your brain wants to escape first.

Your brain is addicted to escaping discomfort, and every escape is rewarded with dopamine so it keeps repeating it, even when it ruins your goals.

There are two types of dopamine:

Cheap dopamine. 

Scrolling. Porn. Junk food. Endless content.

Quick hit.

Zero effort. 

Instant regret.

Just like lighting a matchstick in the dark–bright for 3 seconds, useless right after.

When you flood your brain with this early in the day,

Your brain literally forgets how to enjoy boring things.

That’s why studying feels painful.

Quality dopamine is different. 

Workouts. Prayer. Reading. Skill-learning. Finishing tasks.

These don’t explode your dopamine.

They stabilize it.

Remember: You can’t avoid gratification but you can replace it :)

If someone gave you $100 to enjoy yourself…

…would you spend it first thing in the morning?

Probably not 😂

You’d save it for the evening after finishing all your tasks,

so the pleasure actually feels good.

That’s how dopamine should work too.

But people don't get it. 

And that’s exactly what most people’s mind looks like at 9 AM.

Because they’ve already blasted it with reels, games, snacks, shortcuts. 

Meanwhile, successful people do the opposite.

They spend their dopamine after they’ve earned it.

Work first → reward later.

Effort first → pleasure after.

Just like money.

If you spend before earning, you drown.

If you earn first, you can enjoy freely :)

Before you try the first two tips I shared…

…you need to reset your dopamine levels.

Otherwise your brain will fight you the whole way.

And you already know, 

I’m a firm believer in taking action today and allergic to “I’ll start tomorrow.”

So here’s what you do next:

👉 Grab your personalised 24-hour detox routine…
