Dopamine Menu EN — Pre-Chosen Rewards (PDF Letter + A4)
The break you'll never negotiate again: rewards chosen in advance, taken guilt-free.
You know the trap: "just 30 seconds of phone" — and 45 minutes vanish, guilt included. The Dopamine Menu flips the mechanics: you choose your rewards with a rested head, in four courses, like a restaurant — and when the break comes, you just pick. There's nothing left to negotiate. The concept was popularized by Jessica McCabe (How to ADHD, 2020) — credited in the how-to page, as it should be.

1. Fill in your menu once — the complete example page helps you start
