Seriously.  I did a "dopamine detox", where I just unplugged from social media, watching BTC price, news, and just coded on a project for a few weeks.

Maintaining focus that first was was hard af. But it got better over time. 

 I'm more balanced these days, but the crazy part?

When I went back to peek at X, it was just....I don't know....too much.  Too much in your face.  

It felt "loud".

Something I would have never realized had I not taken a long break. 
 I had a similar experience a few months ago. Those channels opened up again and it was overwhelming, I felt my head tingling from it. Detoxing is definitely worth it, especially to cut through brain fog
