Productivity efficiency

I am in a dilemma, I already quit multiple sources of entertainment that is stimulating in a mediocre way such as social media feeds and youtube. This is obviously beneficial to me but I have 2 more unproductive hobbies, consuming anime related content, and one mobile gacha.

The question is: Do I keep those hobbies while studying programming, or have no hobbies and be bored in the downtime while I am not studying?

The reason I ask this is that I fear that one of this choices might be counterproductive looking like a recipe on burning out... or maybe being "bored" will counteract this. Why am I betting on boredom you may ask, well theoretically the lowered state of my dopamine requirements might make programming more fun for me rather than a chore where I would be stimulated rather than doing nothing at all.

>and be bored in the downtime while I am not studying
no rest , only hustle , LMAO are you 12 or something?

>that quote
Yeah, but when does it bring the money?

Did stopping the rest help you be more productive?

Never lmao,It’s about the mindset of grinding 24/7 and making someone else rich.

I do not know yet. I am currently contemplating this. I am too attached to my hobbies but if this increase the rate my progression then I will do it.

You're always gonna make someone else rich if you are working anyway

Looking at it objectively, skipping the "high dopamine" stuff would do more good than harm. Most people would tell you that "its okay" and "every one deserves some rest", but if we're being honest, most of them spend more time on social media, porn & videogames than they do asleep but what they're saying does have some truth to it, you need an enjoyable way to chill out and relax, but it certainly shouldn't be something that is designed to be addictive rather than enjoyable. And I think this is the crux of it all. Most of the things you do for "fun" can be generally divided into "enjoyable" or "addictive". You're probably biased and might put some of the addictive things in the enjoyable category, but if you're honest and real with yourself, almost everything you do on your leisure time is addictive and not enjoyable.

So, to answer your question, you should 100% have things you do when you're not studying/working, but they should be non-addictive things. Like

meeting friends IRL,
watching full movies (NO series),
reading books (books are honestly really fucking dope, I started last year and kicked myself for not starting earlier, now I feel like there's too many books and too little time lol),
picking up fun hobbies like sports or cooking or whatever

I know this all probably sounds corny, but its something I've been thinking about for a while. I'm not just writing this because it just feels like the correct thing to do, I'm writing this because I've been thinking about this for a while and would be pleased if someone else benefited as well.

Lastly, this is a bit of a tangent, just know that most of the addictive habits are slippery slopes (install game play for 1 hour a day, then 2 etc) while the good habits are an uphill climb at first, then you gain momentum and it starts leveling and becoming down hill.
Don't fall for the slippery slopes of addictive habits, and push through the initial resistances of the good habits.

Have a good day user :)

spending time on youtube, weed, online videogames, tiktok and pornhub all make someone else rich, but with literal 0 gains (except maybe youtube)

atleast wagecucks could theoretically get a network or a promotion or experience for a better job or whatever, there's some hope even for wagies, none for consoomers.

if you have to ask, youre not one of those special kind of autists that need no hobbies
however i would advise you to find something more involved/versatile that just staring at a screen filled with underage cat girls and traps

OP, listen to this guy
