In this episode, we'll peek at why scrolling isn't a "willpower" problem, but an exploitation of your brain's reward systems (kinda like slot machines!). We'll cover the neuroscience behind the prefrontal cortex "battling" dopamine loops, and how stress makes it worse. We'll also talk about practical strategies that actually WORK with your brain's design, so you can ditch any guilt and reclaim control. . . . oh hi & welcome to “Not Entirely Unlike Tea” – i’m christine collins & i love...

Decluttering paradox: Why we crave new containers when it's time to tidy (neuroscience)
In this episode, we'll peek at the neuroscience behind why we feel an urge to buy organizing bins before decluttering, cleaning and organizing. We'll look at how novelty triggers dopamine release, why this effect is stronger in neurodivergent brains, & also cover some no-cost alternatives that stimulate decluttering motivation without popping into the piggy bank. . . . oh hi & welcome to “Not Entirely Unlike Tea” – i’m christine collins & i love reflecting on mindset, psycho...
