My brain is either at 100% or 0%.
If I’m doing something monotonous, I need something to keep me stimulated, like listening to an audiobook, podcast, YouTube video, or music I can sing to.
If I’m doing something taxing, I need some background dopamine to stay focused or I’ll get bored, tired, or unmotivated. I could be tapping, fidgetting, rocking, or listening to music I can move to (but not sing to).
Apparently, your body is supposed to have some base level of dopamine, but some people’s base level is too low. There are links to this and ADHD.
