How do you dopamine detox? I want to study right now, but I feel an urge for entertainment. By resisting it, I feel sleepy.

You don't detox, you use it.

The desire for entertainment can be a motivator in itself to do work.

Dopamine urges you towards the actions that bring you benefit. The body prefers tangible, and immediate results. I want to study because of its future positive effects, my organism however would rather I play a game. My refusal to play a game causes drowsiness.
Do you understand now?

To clarify, I wish to regear my dopamine towards the action of studying. I would receive it after having engaged in studying, the action of studying would not drain the dopamine, thus the dopamine would not be the cause for stopping studying. Focus levels would remain at a stable level, and my memory would work better.
I remember having seen an image regarding dopamine on 8kun, if any of you has it, please post it in this thread.

Dopamine signalling has two functions, one "fast" (direct movement, motivation, reward) and one "slow" (learning with a view to gain a reward later on). Obviously these happen in different pathways and it's up to you to... coax the dopamine into taking the pathway you want.

I have two computers, one was for work and studying, the other was for Netflix, games and media and what not.
I threw away the battery and cable for it and put it in my drawer. Been a month now, kinda worked. Sometimes I'm close to going out and buying a new battery and cable again but I haven't yet.
My work computer has a bunch of blocking extensions too btw.
Maybe sounds retarded but has worked for me alright so far.

That gears you towards the music, not the act of studying itself.

Oh yeah, I should have added: just google something like... role of PFC in dopamine signalling or... PFC dopamine executive control... PFC dopamine inhibition mediation, stuff like that. You'll eventually come across what you need.

yes but at least helps sustaining you until the end of university. To rewire your dopamine you should abandon all tech and set your life so that school assignments are the most funny thing there is to do.

If you have to ask that, you've made this thread on the wrong board. Post it on /adv/ instead.

You are under the misapprehension that knowing the technicalities of anything is necessary to its use. It doesn't follow that understanding it will help me, it might as well be detrimental (the opportunity cost, the possible negative effects incured by studying it, &c.

Get on antipsychotics, so you'll know how it works without dopamine.

Not having it quite doesn't help, Quitting everything can hurt you.

What about not entertaining yourself and just work? It'll work like wonders if you do your decision.

Do you want to fix your discipline issues or not? By understanding the system, you understand how to work with it. Since you're clearly incapable of intuitively fixing yourself, you're going to have to learn the theory.

Probably the best strategy. Instead of fighting to resist temptations and feeling miserable for the cost of opportunity, remove the undesired options. The ideal condition for work is a blank room with nothing but your work and the key out of that room being out of your reach until the work is done.
Other useful tools might be stoicism, meds (meth and modafinil), peer pressure and motivation.
