hype man, and you guessed it. Resident brain Nerd back
with another episode of the Dopamine Detocs. Today, we're diving
into a topic that hits harder than a surprise pop
quiz at three am. Burnout. Yeah, the feeling when even
scrolling through TikTok feels like an Olympic sport. We're talking
about those days where you stare blankly at your phone screen,
wondering if existential dread is just a part time job.
Now ever, felt like your energy reserves are running on fumes,

a whatever attitude that even your dog finds suspicious. You

and build some serious resilience against the burnout monster. Think
of it like leveling up in real life. Five key
takeaways to slay your burnout. One. Sleep It's not just
for your grandma. I know, I know you're thinking, Zaden please,
I've got a TikTok empire to build. But seriously, sleep

the game. When you're well rested, you can actually focus

through peanut butter. Two. Social media detox. It ain't just
a weekend cleanse. Scroll for five minutes, you'll feel like
you've been on a hamster wheel for five hours. Ever,
notice how after scrolling your brain feels fried. Yeah, that's
social media tax at work. Hit the mute button on
those notifications and take intentional breaks. Your brain will thank
you later. Three. Find your flow state. The secret sauce
to productivity isn't just coffee. It's about getting into that
zone where time melts away and you're just in the groove.

no like you mean it. Become a master negotiator. Your
time is precious. Fam don't feel pressured to say yes
to everything. Politely decline things that drain you and focus
on what truly matters. Remember, saying no to something can

and recharge Nature ain't just for Instagram picks. Seriously, get outside.
A walk in the park, a hike in the woods,
