      Of course you also get feel-good chemicals from like “the satisfaction of a job well done” but that takes actual work

      Or you can have a warped perception of self that makes completing tasks agonizing because you’re hyperaware of all the imperfections in your work, and are therefore unable to do anything “well”

      So yeah, video games it is

        What I've done is slowly "taper down" the amount of stimulation I give my brain. If you listen to podcasts or music while playing games, try just playing games on their own. Try listening to a podcast and doing nothing else. Try sitting in silence for a little while each day. I've just made it my goal to spend time bored, because I think it's inherently good for our brains to have negative space.
