In this episode, we embark on a captivating discussion centered around the pursuit of dopamine as creators and the profound impact it has on our work and well-being. We delve into the enthralling topic of how being solely dopaminergic can impact us as creators, emphasizing the importance of pausing to savor our current achievements and finding true contentment. By navigating the fine balance between the thrill of creation and the fulfillment of genuine satisfaction, we aim to uncover a holistic approach to creative fulfillment. Furthermore, we explore the gratification derived from crafting original content and ideas, underscoring their pivotal role in artistic expression. We also unravel the nuances of keywording Lightroom catalogues and the art of culling photos in Lightroom, shedding light on effective strategies to streamline and optimize the creative process. Finally, we unveil an innovative protocol for infusing gamified elements into tasks we may find less appealing, ultimately enhancing productivity and injecting a sense of satisfaction into our endeavors.
