Such an insightful post! You've shared so many valuable tips.
Not using my phone first thing in the morning and logging off digitally two hours before bed have made a huge difference in regulating my dopamine levels. These small shifts really improve how you feel.
I so resonate with your comment! I find nighttime the hardest too, always have. And we are fighting an attention machine that’s always trying to distract us!
Add FOMO and rest guilt and just one more, and it’s a minefield.
I have found cutting screen time and reading or doing other less stimulating things before bed really help me to rest and wake up in a better place!

Those were total game changers for me too! I would say those two tips make the biggest difference.
lots of great tips and information, Genevieve!
for me, I struggle the most in the evening when my willpower/self-control is at its lowest point
the evening is also the time I go to Substack, and try to do a few productive tasks
but having humanity's total knowledge at my fingertips and clickbait news and articles, I find it hard sometimes to be efficient and focused
and then to unplug and go to bed early
it's FOMO
it's a craving to do just one more thing
it's fear of not working hard enough
so I guess I should cut my screen time 1-2 hours before bed, as you advise
my mornings could be more energetic this way
Thank you Max!
