A simple, personalized self-care tool that helps boost motivation, focus, and mood.
The name, “dopamenu” comes from “dopamine” (a brain chemical linked to pleasure and motivation) and “menu,” because it’s like a list of choices you can pick from depending on what you need.
A tool that can be used when you’re feeling overwhelmed, a dopamenu takes the stress out of deciding what to do. It’s a list of easy, enjoyable activities that can lift your mood, give energy, or help you relax.
Dopamenus are usually organized like a restaurant menu:
-
Starters: Quick, low-effort things like stretching, stepping outside, or listening to music.
-
Mains: More engaging activities like going for a walk, working on a project, or connecting with a friend.
-
Desserts: Small treats or rewards like a snack, a short video, or a hobby you enjoy.
In short, a dopamenu is a ready-to-go list of activities that help you reset, refocus, and recharge when you need it most.
