This is literally the plot of Psycho Pass. Highly recommend btw

Yes but in a different way… More about limiting the activity than the time doing the activity.

Basically I find things WAY more fun if I limit the amount of features in the fun thing. For example, if my favorite drink/food store has 10 options instead of 100, then I make a decision easier and enjoy it more since I don’t dwell on it. Or when Minecraft introduced infinite world generation, it became harder to play longer because the possibilities were too overwhelming. Or if someone says “let’s hang out, where do you wanna go” then it is more stressful and more pressure than “let’s hang out, choose between these 3 places”.

In these examples it’s all because of the overwhelming choices being reduced into processable pieces, which means I can stay enjoying the dopamine from doing the activity way faster.

Yup, I have this same experience with my personal account vs. the business one I use at work. The business one has a higher price a lot of the time.

I’m pretty sure I’ve already encountered lots of these…

Sometimes they’re a normal video or sometimes they are shorts. Their titles are often a weird or incorrect description of the video. The video is either a loop of an AI voice reading out loud Reddit q&a posts or a compilation of shorter funny/shocking/etc videos. It kinda feels like the type of videos bot farms would watch just to give/get clicks.

Notifications from Google calendar - if it’s not there, I will forget.

Also, in terms of motivation - if I don’t have a purpose and a goal (however small or insignificant it may be) - then I will be stuck and won’t be able to do literally anything. So I always need something to work towards.

I use it to become the remote tech support person whenever my dad has trouble using his phone lol
