Regarding the dopamine hit, I decided to cut my coffee consumption to once a week back in May. (Also basically quit Twitter, though that was both positive and negative stimulation, so maybe it doesn't quite apply here). I knew I took it as an escape from difficult parts of work. It sometimes worked, it helped me power through stuff in the moment, but I had a hunch that it somehow was holding me back in the long run. Good to hear a similar thing echoed here. Perhaps my decision is paying off now.
