There’s a thin line between multi-tasking and procrastination.

Imagine having a dependable ‘kick starter’ for the tasks that don’t really spark any excitement or motivation for you in the short term. Speaking from personal experience, you might find a cherished favorite in… Lo-Fi. Imagine that the fifth tab open on your monitor is for Stock X, the sixth one is on Discord and the seventh is a toss up between a playlist of Mr. Beast or ‘study with me’ videos. Everything in tabs 1–4 are from yesterday, and you just opened an eighth tab so that you can get going on your paper, which is due tomorrow by 11:59 pm GMT. You live in Central Time Zone. You got this. You’re simply in need of a little something to kick you into gear so that you can get going. Although there are a myriad of ways we try to boost ourselves through a day of stress, low motivation, or lack of interest, you need a personally curated list of ‘emergency’ dopamine boosters. Picture yourself having a short, individualized list of secret weapons for tackling your study sessions.
