Mind Exploitation: Create Your Own Routine By Learning How To Exploit Your Neurotransmitters

My productivity framework after studying psychology for over 15 years

Your understanding of a routine is wrong

A routine is like a fancy car

Not everyone has one

But those who do..

Say it has improved their life

If you’re reading this, you might already have a routine

In fact, you might think your routine works great

But I’m sure you have a routine for the wrong reasons

Many people think a routine is not a “must do” ritual for every day

They think a routine is not “something you have to do” for success

That’s exactly why so many successful people don’t have a routine

The truth is, you probably don’t know why you have a routine

Yes, it’s a way to organize your daily tasks..

But if you don’t have that many tasks, do you need a routine?

Yes you do. And I’m going to explain to you why you do

At the end of this article you’re going to know:

• Why 99% of people can be more productive if they had a routine

• Why having a routine gives you an unfair advantage

• What the psychology behind a routine is

  That means

• No more feeling tired after work

• No more sleep deprivation

• No more struggling to check off all your daily tasks

• And no more following a routine that’s useless

Are you ready to smash your daily tasks?

Then let’s get started

Step Number 1 - Identify Your Symptoms

One of the real reasons we have a routine, is to make up for the chemical imbalance in our bloodstream

You are only as productive, as your body allows you to be

This is why it pisses me off when you’ve got influencers say stupid stuff like “depression doesn’t exist”, or “It’s all in your head”

It’s not. Your body has a capacity when it comes to daily tasks, and that capacity can reach it’s limit faster, depending on what you’re doing

Identifying your symptoms means finding what’s holding you back from reaching maximum productivity

When you do your daily tasks, what are your problems?

Do you struggle to concentrate?

Do you feel sleepy or lethargic all the time?

Do you not have enough time due to other responsibilities?

Are you constantly anxious while doing tasks?

Do you feel like you are physically incapable of doing more tasks because of how overwhelmed you feel?

These are all important factors when it comes to productivity

Now that you know what’s holding you back, you can remove them

Step Number 2 - Treating The Root

Instead of fixing symptoms, I will break down the root cause of symptoms

Symptoms are a result of the following 5 things:

• Broken Cardian rhythms

• Time management

• A lack of dopamine & serotonin

• Decision Fatigue

• Distractions

If you’re having a productivity problem, then your symptom will be caused by one of these things, 99% of the time

So by fixing these problems, we fix all your productivity problems

2.1 Fixing Broken Cardian Rhythms

Your sleep schedule defines how you feel throughout the day.

It decides if you feel tired, and it decides if you feel like you don’t have energy

99% of people’s sleep and fatigue problems are caused by 1 thing - Revenge hours

Revenge hours are the hours you spend doing the things you know you shouldn’t be doing, but you do them anyway, because you’re making up for lost time

Let’s use an example..

Imagine you love anime, and you’ve been watching 1 episode of your favourite anime every day

Normally you go to work at 9:00 and come home at 17:00

This means when you get home, you can watch anime from 17:00-17:30

This gives you exactly enough time for anime, and to work on other responsibilities

Then you normally go to sleep at 21:30

But then one day you switch jobs, and now you only get home at 17:30

This means you can’t watch anime, because there won’t be time for other important tasks - But then you watch anime from 17:30-18:00 instead

These 30 minutes, are your revenge hours

Now you go to sleep at 22:00, and it takes you a while to fall asleep as well

Now when you get to work in the morning, you’re still tired

And you stay tired during the day because you’re sleep deprived

Then you do this for weeks on end, until eventually your sleep schedule is broken

This means you’re constantly tired, all because you took those revenge hours

Ingrain this into your mind: Revenge hours will screw you over long term

So what do you do instead? 2 things you can do

Manage your time better, eliminate revenge hours

If there’s something you used to do, but it’s not a must do, then take it out of your schedule momentarily, until you’ve found a balance

ALWAYS go to sleep at 21:00, and get off any screens by 20:00

How well you sleep is determined by the prolactin in your bloodstream

And less prolactin is produced when you encounter bright lights

This means if you’re on your screen just before you go to sleep, you’re going to be more tired when you wake up

And with better time management, you should be able to get back those 30 minutes..

Instead of taking them back using revenge hours

Remember, most jobs don’t care about your sleep schedule, so depending on the job you do, time management might be almost impossible to fix

This is just another of the millions of reasons I hammer on building your own online business - This will allow you to get back your time, and replace your 9-5

If you’re unsure where to get started, read my article on “The 3 Digital Career Paths That Can Replace Your 9-5 in 3-18 months” here

If you’ve already started, then you can learn to automate 90% of your business over those 3-18 months, without picking an industry or niche here

2.2 Managing Your Time Better

Time management is an art.

I’ve tried all manner of time management methods in the last 2+ years as an online business owner

Here’s what I can guarantee you works for time management:

Determine your goals for the next 10 years, then break them down into 1 year, monthly, and weekly goals

Then turn those long term goals into daily tasks

If you need help with this, you can grab my Notion goal & habit tracker for 100% FREE here

Now that you have your daily tasks that will eventually lead to you reaching your goals, you have a schedule

Now all you need to do is stick to that schedule, make improvements based on your real life situation, and you will have a daily schedule you can stick to, without having time management issues

2.3 Low Dopamine & Serotonin

One of the biggest problems people have when they are trying to be productive, is not having the motivation or energy to do those things

Instead of giving you a bunch “hacks” to overcome this problem, I will be treating the route cause of these problems

Not having motivation or energy to do something (assuming you followed the steps before this), is due to a lack of dopamine & serotonin

A lack of dopamine & serotonin is a sign you live a sedentary lifestyle

You wake up, eat breakfast, go to work, get home, sit infront of the computer or tv all day, sleep, repeat

Your lifestyle decides how much dopamine & serotonin you have in your bloodstream

Without enough dopamine, every task will start to feel impossible (I should know since I have dopamine deficiency)

If you don’t have a chronic or genetic problem like me, increasing your dopamine is ridiculously simple

Just change your lifestyle. It’s simple, not easy. Changing the way you live your life is key to changing the chemical imbalance in your bloodstream

What you will need is discipline, but it’s possible

Start including the following into your routine, and you will see results in 30 days:

• 30 minute breaks in between 2 hour work sessions

• 4 min cold water exposure every day

• Take multiple walks on a daily basis

• Do exercise 5 times a week

If you add these to your weekly schedule, it’s highly unlikely you still struggle with a lack of motivation or energy to do your daily tasks

These activities increase the amount of dopamine & serotonin that’s in your bloodstream at any given time, thereby removing your motivation & energy problems

If you are still experiencing energy or motivational problems, you might have an undiagnosed psychological problem

Go to a medical professional (in psychology), and tell them about the problems you’re experiencing, despite everything you’re doing to fix them

Remember, the more dopamine you have in your bloodstream, the more confident you are that you will achieve great things, and the more motivated you will feel

So if you really wanted to hack your mind, all you’d need to do is find a natural way to drastically increase the amount of dopamine in your bloodstream

But if you use synthetic or unnatural ways to do it, you will suffer severe consequences that you won’t be able to come back from

2.4 Decision Fatigue

Putting down times you’re supposed to do specific things, will help you habitize your routine - This means turning your routine into something that happens automatically

Have you ever walked the same route to school you’ve been walking for years, and without looking at the road ahead of you, you magically show up in front of the school gates? That’s habitization

Your brain is learning patterns in your behaviour, and based on that it will help you achieve your goals on auto-pilot - Why is this important?

Because if a task is not habitized, it takes up mental space in your mind

And just like a cup of coffee, there comes a point where the contents start spilling over the surface of the cup - This is decision fatigue

On average, the human mind makes 30,000 decisions every day

The more decisions you make, the harder the next decision becomes

Hit your limit, and you become drained

This means making more decisions start to feel physically and psychologically impossible

There’s a reason why some billionaires wear the same clothes every single day

It means when it comes to clothes, they make no decisions

Every decision you make, is a step closer to it spilling over the surface and getting lost when it falls to the ground

But by habitizing your decision, you make it almost automatic (just like the billionaire wearing the same clothes), and thereby removing decisions from your cup

Here’s how you never become drained due to decision fatigue:

• Create a routine with daily tasks

• Do those daily tasks every single day

• Do this consistently for months

• And turn your daily tasks into habits

2.5 Distractions

If you’ve come this far, and you did everything I explained, then your problem is either ADHD, ADD, or impulsive behaviours

Here’s how you fix your distraction problems:

The reason we get distracted, is because we start paying attention to irrelevant things

• Scrolling through social media

• Reading random stuff

• Eating food

• Drinking

You fix this problem by eliminating distractions

These Are Instructions:

Instruction number 1 → Divide your work space and your room space

The place you work, and the place you sleep, should NOT be in the same place

Psychologically your brain associates your room with a place you can rest

Depending on your neurotransmitter functioning, you might even start feeling tired if your bed is close by

Keep your phone far away from you, just like you’re doing with your bed

Instruction number 2 → Divide your tasks into time slots. Every time you do a task, give yourself a 30-60 minute timer for that specific task

By putting your task in a time window, you stop yourself from getting distracted, because when you try to do something else, you become aware of the timer, and why it exists = You’re still busy with the original task

IMPORTANT INFO - Why 99% Of People Need A Routine

The point of a routine is to do 3 things:

• Create an optimal chemical balance in your brain

• Divide your daily tasks into timeslots

• Habitize your lifestyle

If you do all of these things, you have an unfair advantage over those who did not

If you’re a writer, creator, or marketer, then having a routine is your lifeblood

Without one everything falls apart, you are overcome with anxiety, and you lack the energy or motivation to get everything done

A routine simplifies something complicated for your brain to easily process

The only person who doesn’t need a routine are these following 4 types of people:

• The person with so little responsibility that a routine is not needed

• The 1 in 1000,000 person who’s brain just functions differently

• The person who has no order and hangs on by a thread

• The person who created a routine without realizing it

If you are not one of these people, then you need a routine, because it will put you leagues ahead of those who do not have one

This is your unfair advantage - Use it

Step Number 3 - Stay Consistent

The point of a routine is to create opportunity for amazing results.

The longer you do daily tasks, the closer you get to achieving an amazing result

If you exercise 5 times a week, for 6 months straight, your amazing result is a fit body

If you send 5 outreach methods a day, for 6 months straight, your amazing result is multiple paid clients

If you write 3-7 educational emails a day for 6 months straight, your amazing result is an improvement in writing ability, sales, paid clients, and an audience

If you do not stay consistent, you won’t achieve anything.

That’s the harsh truth of it

Get used to crawling on the ground before you can run

It’s the only way to reach excellence

To master something means to do it horribly thousands of times

If you’re reading this, it means you know how to treat your symptoms..
