Recently I’ve been not working on much on projects, I find myself just laying around or watching Netflix. I find every 6-8 months I’ll do this for a couple weeks and it really hurts my productivity. It’s like I am hunting for my next dopamine hit, I still get somethings done but I can’t sit down and focus on work for 5+ hours at a time like I typically would.

Anyone have any experience with this? Any advice on how to get back into the swing of things?

Dopamine Detox. Remove all social medias including Netflix and you will be bored all the time, use that boredom to work.

Personally, I find exercise and hiking helps me. It gets me away from the screens and freshens my mind.

Yes I think this is definitely it. I've done it in the past and it's been amazing. Will definitely start today
