Day 39: Good dopamine
“Just like social media feeds, this hits different sort of dopamine when one manages to accomplish what one has chosen to do!”
Sanket's 100 Days to Offload challenge, 100 blog posts in a year, gave him a reward the feed never did: progress he chose.
A meta-analysis by Harkin and colleagues found that monitoring progress towards goals improves goal attainment, especially when progress is recorded or made visible. Track progress you control, like days done or posts written, not likes.
