Detoks öncesi kontrol listesi
- Tell 1-2 close people you're doing this so they don't expect texts.
- Set work email to a strict allowed list; auto-respond to anything else.
- Delete or hide social media apps from your phone home screen.
- Plan 4+ activities from the allow list — boredom is the test.
- Stash a paper notebook for any urge to "just check" something.
- Pre-cook 2-3 meals so meal-decision fatigue doesn't trigger doomscrolling.
- Write down what you'll feel relieved about on the other side.
Reality check: the term “dopamine detox” is medically inaccurate — you don’t deplete dopamine and refill it. The intervention works because it removes high-frequency reward stimuli that crowd out slower rewards (exercise, reading, conversation). Three days is enough to feel a baseline reset.
Plan a stimuli-reset detox by length (weekend / week / month) and strictness (minimal / moderate / strict). Returns allowed and blocked lists plus a pre-detox checklist. The intervention works because it removes high-frequency rewards that crowd out slower ones — not because dopamine is “depleted.”
