Your Dopamine Menu: The Maker
Making something with your hands lifts you.
Your answers point to making. You feel better when you've created something you can see, whether it's a meal, a drawing or a fixed shelf.
Build your menu around small makes and bigger projects, and keep the materials easy to reach.
Things to try
- Starter (5 minutes): a quick doodle or a tidy of one shelf.
- Main (30 minutes or more): cook something new or spend time on your hobby.
- Side (while you work): a fidget, or something to sketch on during calls.
