Navigating Life In the Bombardment of Dopamine-Frying Distractions Like a Modern-Day Warrior

In a high attention-draining society that we live in and will only delve deeper into in the future, it has never been more perilous to be dismissive - or worse, submissive - with where our very rare and limited attention sources freely stream to as it’s not our choice for a majority of the time we are on our phones - which is more than we are consciously aware. So the archaic archetype of the disciplined warrior must finally come out.

How to navigate your life for the next 50 years alongside the bombardment of easy-access dopamine frying activities like a professional modern-day warrior while not losing touch with society (AKA not being a shutout)?

Do you ever feel the impulse to check your phone, even though you were on it 24 seconds ago? Do you go through the same 4 apps, refresh, see nothing new, close phone, and repeat the process? Like a mindless zombie?

Truth is that I understand. Bigger and better and smarter guys than we can imagine are susceptible to this addiction. No one is above the power of mental masturbation via dopamine-jacking. But that is why it has never been more important for us to coalesce our efforts into pinpointing all of our discipline into not being sucked into the quicksand of social media, politics, news, and all the other bullshit that not only doesn’t matter, but actually has a heavy negative impact on your overall life.

And of course, this was always important. Pomodoro technique for 20 minute sessions, 5 minutes rest, repeat. White/brown noise for “music”. Putting away all distractions. Sure. But this isn’t 2014. Nor 2018. This is 2024, and soon it will be 2030. And every single year — no. Every single month becomes exceedingly more and more difficult to siphon your energy and attention into high-leverage activities versus scrolling and getting sucked into the negative cesspools that the majority of online convention revolves around. That is why the modern-day warrior must come out of you to practice the utmost precision of discipline and control of your mind and emotions. So.

The bulletproof blueprint for securing your mind, body, and legacy over the next 50 years is as follows:
