Skylar Hunyadi Wrote About Reclaiming Her Time and Energy

by | March 24, 2025

For The Financial Diet newsletter, Skylar Hunyadi wrote about her journey “resisting dopamine culture” and highlighted strategies that got her to the “long-term reward” of “reclaiming” her “attention and time in a world that profits from our brain chemistry.”

Hunyadi writes, “The first step is to understand what triggers this cycle for you. My phone and other forms of technology, like TV and my PC, were obvious culprits. When I felt stressed, bored, or lonely, I scrolled to feel something different. With this self-awareness, I could begin reclaiming my time and attention.”

Hunyadi has written various pieces for The Financial Diet about journaling, managing a routine, and more.
