It’s MONDAAAAAAAAAY —and for a lot of us with ADHD or even just big goals, Mondays can feel like a war between ambition and overwhelm. Here’s your productivity hack of the day—“The Dopamine Anchor.” Not your average to-do list trick. This is how you prime your brain before you even start working. Here’s how to do it: 1. Pick one small action that gives you a quick dopamine hit but also aligns with your goals. Examples: • Finishing a short workout • Making your bed while listening to hype music • Doing a 2-minute cold rinse • Reviewing your 3 big goals while chewing mint gum (seriously—novel sensory input helps anchor it) 2. Immediately follow that with your first deep work task. The dopamine from that small win + the novelty from the ritual = your brain is now hooked into momentum. You’re teaching your brain: “This is what it feels like to start strong.” Do it enough, and it becomes a trigger that launches you into focus mode—especially helpful if you struggle with transition time or low motivation in the morning. Your turn—drop in the comments: What’s one small action you’re stacking with your first task today? Let’s build some rituals together.
