Educational Guide

When the brain is under-stimulated, it instinctively reaches for 'cheap dopamine' (scrolling, snacking). A Dopamine Menu is a pre-planned list of healthy, stimulating activities categorized by time and effort (Appetizers, Mains, Desserts). It removes the friction of having to think of a healthy alternative in a moment of low willpower.
