1. Constant Motivational Content
You're a junkie waiting for your next fix.
"Just one more video, then I'll start..." you tell yourself.
Reliant on YouTube dopamine dealers to get anything done.
But you never do.
The only rehab is discipline.

2. Self Deprecating Memes
It's become a contest of who's the most:
• Broke
• Stupid
• Anxious
• Depressed
You think you're joking but your subconscious thinks otherwise.
The brain needs consistency.
It manifests the identity you give it.

3. Newsfeeds
Think this.
Hate that.
Love those.
You're always being programmed.
The smart people just find the right things to program them.
Unfollow those you don't want to be like and follow the ones you do.

4. Pornography
Porn is frying your dopamine receptors.
Rewarding your brain for unearned pleasure.
Eventually your brain gets used to this.
So when it comes time to do something that requires effort, your motivation is nonexistent.

5. Negative Friends
Given enough time, friends' opinions become yours.
If you're trying to be your best and constantly criticized for it, cut them out of your life.
Flowers don't grow when surrounded by weeds.
