In today's world, our brains are faced with endless stimuli from social media, fast news and other digital entertainment. This constant stream of dopamine spikes overloads our brain and makes us addicted to quick rewards. This, in turn, weakens our ability to concentrate and makes it even harder to tolerate boredom. Dopamine, the brain's own reward chemical, motivates us to seek things that bring us pleasure. If the dopamine system is overloaded, ordinary and less stimulating tasks, such as focusing on studying or reading, no longer bring enough pleasure. This exposes us to high levels of dopamine, making increasingly intense stimuli necessary to achieve the same feeling of pleasure. When the brain gets used to the high level of stimulation, it reduces the motivation to focus on slowly rewarding tasks. Historical examples such as the insights of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein demonstrate the power of little stimulation. Newton's remarkable theory of gravity developed in a quiet environment, and Einstein's creativity flourished in solitary moments where he could delve into his own thoughts without interruption. Studies also show that modern people are so used to stimulation that even a short silence can be unpleasant - many people prefer a small electric shock to spending a moment alone with their thoughts. Restoring the ability to concentrate and balancing the dopamine level requires a conscious effort to reduce stimulation. Effective methods include doing unpleasant tasks before pleasant ones, limiting the use of addictive applications and learning to tolerate boredom without constantly looking for entertainment. These strategies help us find more joy in the simple things in life and improve long-term focus.
