This is a YouTube video titled "Starve yourself of short term dopamine" containing a monologue or motivational talk recorded in November 2024. The speaker discusses the importance of removing comforts and distractions, such as internet and TV, to focus on productive work like writing, sharing a personal experience from after college.
A lot of people who fail to make progress keep telling themselves. I know, I know. I just need to work harder. No, what you need is to remove the comforts from your life. Making it easy for you to not work. You need to starve yourself of short term dopamine. When I graduated from college and wanted to become a writer, this is what I did. I deprived myself of owning Internet in my apartment so I wouldn't squander the couple hours I had each night forcing myself to write. No tv, no Internet, just a bed and a desk.
