Hidden Value - Cheap Dopamine Costs You
Auto Close Distractions | Escape Dopamine Traps
Hidden Value shows you the exact cost for every second you waste, updated live. It shows your hidden costs in terms of potential money lost, time wasted and most importantly - your personalized goals. Plus it helps you stop wasting as much time so you can increase the likelihood of getting closer to your goals.
I wasted an average of 4.23 hours per day on cheap dopamine in January this year.
131.17 hours total.
Why?
Because I have no self control?
Then why do I find it easy to not eat junk food?
Because I know that each bite I take cost a certain amount of calories.
I know that eating 10 chips means that the 10 minutes of cardio I did in the morning gets cancelled out.
Which made me think... What if we could see what the time you waste actually costs you in terms of money, time and personalized goals.
What if there was something that actually made the cheap dopamine feel expensive?
What if there was something that made you feel like the distractions aren't worth it in the first place?
What if every time you beat a distraction, you would get positive reinforcement?
Would that make it more or less likely that I stop wasting 4 hours a day turning my brain into mush and distracting myself with cheap dopamine?
So I made a chrome extension called Hidden Value to quite honestly, help me get a grip on my life.
My average time wasted per day went down from 4.23h/day to around 1.5h/day.
That's literally 75 hours per month.
Now I'm not saying everybody that decides to use Hidden Value will magically get back 75 hours per month.
I think I was probably wasting a lot more time than most people actually do.
But I am confident in the fact that it will increase the likelyhood that you don't waste as much time.
Ps. - why a chrome extension? because I'm still using an iPhone 7 Plus and my apps don't work anymore 😅
