Your brain has found something rewarding in these times.
So the question becomes: how do you make the next “boring” thing just barely more rewarding than the new interesting?
Can you give an example? Like how do I make going back to work more enjoyable than the videos or hobbies I do during my lunch break
That is a question only you can answer for yourself.
I wish for you the best of luck in everything you choose to do.
If you can, reorganize your tasks so you handle the most unpleasant or difficult stuff before the break. Maybe leave one specific task you enjoy the most for right after the break so you can use it to kickstart your brain back into work mode.
