I find waiting for things physically exhausting. Waiting in lines, waiting sitting in a room, waiting on friends to decide what they want to eat, walking really slowly with an elderly relative: I find it all physically exhausting even though very little physical energy is required.
It’s something I’ve been training myself on. Instead of going for my phone, just be bored. Sometimes a lack of dopamine makes the dopamine you do get that much better.
I’d had intermittent success with that. The bigger problem is I can’t properly develop habits. So I’ll be good about avoid distractions for a week or two then my focus shifts to some other interest and I’ve forgotten to avoid the dopamine box
