Roll for a sensory reset. Simple physical tasks that interrupt digital loops.
Stuck in an executive function loop? Roll for a sensory reset. Simple physical tasks that interrupt digital feedback patterns and clear cortisol load.
Splash ice-cold water on your face. Instant nervous system reset.
ADHD and AuDHD brains are prone to cognitive loops and execution paralysis. When dopamine levels drop, the temptation is to seek low-effort digital stimulation (social feeds, tab switching). 'Dopamine Snacks' are designed as rapid, physical, low-dopamine-barrier interventions. They provide physical, sensory changes that reset the autonomic nervous system and release nervous energy, making it easier to return to active work.
Iterative, open changes built from lived AuDHD feedback and sensory testing.
Updated physical action deck with cold water vagus nerve stimuli and wall press techniques to interrupt doom-scrolling loops.
Filtered snacks by spoon cost (Micro < 1 min, Low 2-5 min, Reset 10 min).
Random low-friction task roulette.
