Dopamine detox, the honest version: you can't detox from dopamine, but you can choose what it rewards. The 3-step Focus Reset (Count, Distance, Earn) to get your focus back, and the Reach Test to see how much your phone runs your day.
If you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). For alcohol or drug use, SAMHSA's National Helpline: 1-800-662-4357, free and confidential, 24/7.
In Episode 2 of REWIRE, Carlos Siqueira explains why your phone works like a slot machine, what 205 phone checks a day and a 47-second attention span are doing to your business, and why numbing isn't healing. Then he gives you the Earn-It Rule, the 10-minute "make your phone boring" fix, and the Focus Reset you can start tonight.
👇 Take the Reach Test: what's your number, 0, 1, 2 or 3? Put it in the comments.
