CEO Hack: Serotonin Driven Activities
Matt Hunckler, CEO of Powderkeg
And I was in like a heightened state of everything being dopamine driven like I'm having trouble finding any fun true happiness I feel good about checking off the to-do list but the happiness part is gone right now And one of the techniques that you showed shared to me I think you had done something similar was creating a to do a serotonin driven activity And that's what I did I set a goal to play my guitar and write songs for 20 minutes a day And of course as long as you do it for 20 minutes like timer goes off There were a lot of days I did it for like a whole hour And eventually what was really interesting about that is that dopamine driven oh I checked the box then turned into oh I just want to pick up my guitar Like naturally And so it was the paradigm that I found really helpful from that was like using our natural wiring as CEOs to get shit done to make sure I'm getting shit done That is a serotonin inducing activity
