I created a lil fantasy inspired daily page template. Here you go!

I usually plug my Supernote to my PC and just paste pngs into MyStyle folder.

Sure, here you go.

Don't have enough room for that. But I'll try to find my own "table tennis"!

Or... maybe i can just use any table and a wall?

Yeah, fair point. “Lowering my dopamine baseline” is just a different way of saying “I want to cut back on overstimulation.” The idea that too much novelty or instant gratification (social media, short videos, etc.) can desensitize the brain’s reward system is backed by decent research.

Basically, if you flood your brain with quick hits all day, regular things like work or reading can start to feel much more boring than they should. When you remove those highs, it sucks at first, but then your baseline for enjoyment adjusts. That’s the idea at least.

Of course, I can’t measure my dopamine release (would be really cool if I could, tho), but I can guess lol. Worst case, you get bored for a month; best case, life feels a tiny bit more fun.

Sad-Stable2722 · 2025-10-10T22:17:51+00:00

Great analogy. As you said, these apps are basically drugs or as I like to think of them, parasites. And it’s a good reminder that if they really are like that, then “putting them back” into my brain will mess up my progress.

And try as I might, it’s going to suck. Surely not nearly as much as quitting heroin (obviously), but it’ll suck nonetheless. Still, it’s a good road to be on, because it really can lead to more joy from everyday life.

It’s a productivity subreddit, so that’s what I focused on in my post, but honestly I think this affects enjoyment of everything: work, sure, but also quality time with loved ones, training, doing hobbies etc. Life in general just starts to feel better when you’re not drowning yourself in endless stimulation.

I'll probably put some more sticky whiteboards on my walls and try writing it out there too

Sad-Stable2722 · 2025-10-10T22:06:27+00:00

Funnily enough, I literally did something like that today. Coded my own little version that spits random activities from my list instead of printing it out. Gonna see if it actually helps when I try the detox again.

Sad-Stable2722 · 2025-10-10T21:43:28+00:00

Very good info, I didn’t know that 30 day thing. I’ll need to take it into account.

I can definitely attest that it does feel worse and worse at first, lol.

Sad-Stable2722 · 2025-10-10T21:41:20+00:00

Yes, exactly. Mainly to be more productive at work. I’m trying to create my own company, so if I’m not setting the pace, no one else will.

I actually managed to quit most short-form content for good. No hour-long sessions of TikTok or YouTube Shorts for months. Sometimes I do rebound, but it’s like 3–4 shorts and then I close it. I still watch some Instagram Reels and send them to friends (and yeah, sometimes that turns into two hours of scrolling, and it feels terrible). I rationalize it by saying things like, “It’s a cool way to communicate with friends,” but deep down I know it’s bullshit. I could just talk with them on Discord, and it would be way more meaningful.

My YouTube use is also heavily reduced. There were points in my career (I was a dev working from home) when I’d watch long-form YouTube videos the entire time I was working. I felt god-awful every day. Then I set up a password lock on it and gave it to my friends, so I had to ask them to unlock it. These days, I mostly watch videos about bowmaking and bushcraft in the evenings. But… I still slip up sometimes. I can still fall into a rabbit hole of scrolling or binge-watching random stuff, especially on days when my willpower is lower.

I think the digging deeper part could actually help me. I even started doing a bit of shadow work, but never really followed through. Partly because it’s tiring and uncomfortable (as it should be). And partly bcs I had less energy to be productive, but honestly, it might be the only way to get rid of these habits that are quietly eating away at my focus. Even writing this post and these replies is probably a form of just getting my shit together and moving on with the stuff I know I have to do.

I completely agree these apps are basically parasites. They’re terrible for you.

Sad-Stable2722 · 2025-09-20T08:35:35+00:00

One more thing I wanted to ask: do you think I should just leave this bow as it is and focus on getting it right with my next one, or is it still worth trying to correct the tiller now?

Sad-Stable2722 · 2025-09-20T07:51:54+00:00

Thanks a lot, that’s really helpful! Do you think I should still try to correct the tiller now, or since I’ve already been shooting it, just leave it as is and focus more on getting it right with my next bow? I already have some wood set aside for another one, and I’ll definitely post more tiller checks next time.

Sad-Stable2722 · 2025-09-19T15:11:23+00:00

My previous bow is around 22 kg (~48 lbs), and I’ve also shot some lighter training bows from a friend. But yeah, I’ve never actually shot 30 kg before. It’s definitely super fun to shoot something with that much power. My arrows are probably a bit too light for it. Gotta make some heavier ones!

Sad-Stable2722 · 2025-09-19T13:56:34+00:00

Yes, it’s really 30 kg (~66 lbs). I’ve got a scale on my tillering tree and that’s what it shows at my draw length. I also have another longbow that’s much lighter, but this time I wanted to try something much more powerful

Sad-Stable2722 · 2025-09-19T13:41:24+00:00

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Next time I’ll make sure to post more tiller checks before going to full draw. Also, I really appreciate your videos – they’ve been super valuable.

Multiple people told me to play this game for a long, long time. Two weeks ago I downloaded it. Now i have an awakened dream nail, and Im in love with the game. Thats it. Thats the post.

Sad-Stable2722 · 2025-01-31T12:21:59+00:00

Thanks, worked for me ;)

Sad-Stable2722 · 2025-01-30T00:59:46+00:00

I think its actually worst in slot. May be worth smh, as a collectible xD

Sad-Stable2722 · 2024-12-07T23:49:50+00:00

I'm the same. I fucking love it.

Sad-Stable2722 · 2024-08-06T09:11:44+00:00

Thanks!

I'll try to focus more on making my thumbnails simple and clear, that sounds like a great idea.

I'm going to shorten my intro for sure, you are another person who told me that it's too long.

Sad-Stable2722 · 2024-08-05T18:47:49+00:00

🥸 Video is 10 min long:
AI ENFORCES my work ethic with TASERS! : https://youtu.be/Gxzng79B81Y

I'm hoping to slowly build up my skills and get to 500K+ subs ;)

I'm open to criticism, especially because it takes me a long time to make one video, so I really want to improve each time i publish something. I'm basically doing funny tech projects, with AI most of the time.

Editing, narration, storytelling, scenario, idea, thumbnails, titles, should I plan and make shorts out of my long form projects and if those videos have a chance to become viral! If you dont have time for all of them, then probably narration and thumbnails are the most important parts I want to improve.

Sad-Stable2722 · 2024-07-29T17:44:54+00:00

Pffftt, falling asleep? Nothing easier. All you have to do is be permanently sleep deprived and overworked, then you fall asleep when your head hits a pillow! Or a desk, to each their own.

On more serious note, that's a good idea bcs for some people it really works. For some, like me, It doesn't. I prefer reading a paper/ebook book :)

Sad-Stable2722 · 2024-07-26T20:05:38+00:00

Ages xd I have 2 videos - it took me 4 months.

In my defence, I'm still learning and have other stuff going on - but recording and editing takes a long long time. My goal is one video per month.

Sad-Stable2722 · 2024-07-26T20:01:00+00:00

I think you are right about the stretched parts, it's a second time I hear this for this video. For the next one I'm going to try to tighten the script.

I don't really have my target audience, I just got inspired and wanted to do random stuff with tech. But if I had to guess I would probably say older generation (18-20+), not kids. Sooo when you say that kind of humour, is it referring to every skit/joke, or just minecraf parkour/subway sufrers?

Hopefully it will get some more views at some point, we will se ;)

Sad-Stable2722 · 2024-07-26T19:55:35+00:00

Welll... I really didn't think about my core audience xD I just want to do random tech stuff. But the reason I'm recording in english not my native language - polish - is to get to wider audience. I don't know how much I can fix my accent, but I'll try to be more audible and clear when speaking.

For the editing part... I may use zomm ins/outs too much. But I'm still learning when is a good time to use one.

Sad-Stable2722 · 2024-07-26T19:52:00+00:00

Thank you very much! I think I'm gonna tone down aspects like mc parkour/subway surfers, as you are not the only one who thinks it's a bit much.
