Flow Vs. Instant Dopamine
- Flow comes from focused, challenging activities and produces lasting contentment, not instant dopamine.
- Social media usually offers cheap, fleeting rewards rather than deep flow states.

- Matt removed optional digital items and put his phone on Do Not Disturb, gaining roughly an extra hour per day.
- He used that time to play piano, sleep better, and read more during the first four days.

- Use paper notes for quick thoughts instead of the phone to reduce distraction.
