Definitely @Captain24 @june23- I feel like it can be especially important to have a reward especially after harder or more challenging things, although dopamine could provide an extra one just by completing the task!

@amber22A small reward I like is having a cup of tea, although I have so many throughout the day that maybe it loses its power as a reward 🤣

I am the same! I have too many teas to keep count of some days! 🤣 But they are a brilliant reward @june23

A few extra ideas for harnessing or boosting dopamine:

  • Ticking a task (no matter how small) off your to-do list!
  • Try something new
  • Music, including this track by a previous TT guest 😊
