It's amazing how blocking Twitter on my phone and personal laptop leads to going to sleep two to three hours earlier. Apparently microdosing dopamine really wires me up. I thought I'd find something else to do with the "freed-up" time, but nope, I just become more aware of how incredibly tired I am, and then I'm too tired to do anything that isn't Twitter and I can't do Twitter, so I go to bed.

I might need a "no Twitter after 3 p.m." rule like people have with caffeine. Or something like it. Until I figure that out, blocking it entirely seems best.

Oh man, the phrase "microdosing domapmine" feels like such a callout right now, when I'm literally distracting myself from journaling where not ten minutes ago I wrote "Podcasts are good if I listen to them while playing video games, and video games are good if I play them while reading twitter. Twitter is full of stupid little dopamine hits, so that's good on its own, which is inherently horrifying, because then I spend twenty minutes straight on it."

So like...I feel this post deep in my soul and really need to do the same thing yipes.
