This is perfect—to the point, and let’s you know what you can and can’t do. I would just add, however, that another form of a fast can be cutting one thing out completely for an extended period of time (say, YouTube for a month, or sex, video games etc…). This is actually much more helpful than just a 24-hour reset. The effects are much more profound

Doing a dopamine detox fot a certain of hours for starters while supplementing Chlorella which has high levels of magnesium, low level of magnesium contributes to anxiety or social anxiety. Thats my anecdote, Dopamine detox and Chlorella

Different Take on Dopamine Fasting
Dopamine fasting ‘works’ not because it ‘recharges’ dopamine systems, but because it avoid choice contrast which causes tension or stress and harmful cortisol release. Indeed when we get bored of anything from too much pizza to too much sex, dopamine release is suppressed for a time, but bounces back naturally given a little time and abstinence. This is called habituation, and is why we naturally take pause from our pleasures in place and time. Abstinence is like absence, which in Shakespeare’s words makes the heart grow fonder, not stronger!
More on how choice contrast and how it works here:
Cinderella and her effects
In the fairy tale, Cinderella faced daily exhaustion through having to pursue innumerable small tasks heaped upon her by her stepsisters and evil stepmother, with each task having the same high priority, resulting in lots of continuous dilemmas and resulting stress. Although the demands were not great, it was the continuous indecisions that hurt. In Cinderella’s case and in the real world, sustained levels of muscular tension are commonly produced during continuous moment to moment alternative choices wherein any choice entails near equivalent feasible or avoidable losses, or dilemmas. These dilemmas may consist of two or more rationally comparable choices that are near equivalent (e.g. what choice to make in a card game) or two choices that represent affective choices or affective vs. rational choices that are near equivalent in value and cannot be logically compared. An affective choice will be defined as anticipatory positive affect or more specifically, a priming effect due to the enhanced and sustained activity of mid-brain dopamine systems that provide an affective value (or ‘wanting’) to engaging in or the prospect of engaging in positive unpredicted or novel events (e.g. checking email) or primary drives (e.g. ‘wanting’ an ice cream cone). As such this activity may occur not only when a discrepancy is perceived but also from moment to moment prior to or in anticipation of that event. Thus, continuous decision making between alternative choices (e.g. doing housework or minding a child, working or surfing the internet, staying on a diet or eating ice cream, keeping a dental appointment or staying at home) represents irreconcilable affective and/or rational alternatives wherein one choice entails the loss of its alternative, and is associated with sustained or tonic levels of tension that is painful. This ‘Cinderella Effect’, represents the continuous activation of ‘slow twitch muscular units’ (also called Cinderella fibers). This sustained activation causes them to eventually fail, and thus recruit other groups of muscles more peripheral to the original group, resulting in pain and exhaustion. In addition, these slow twitch fibers are slow to deactivate, and will continue activated even during subsequent intervals of rest. The aversive result of this long-term activation conforms to the concept of ‘allostatic load’, which predicts that tension and arousal will be maladaptive when there is an imbalance between activation and rest/recovery. Specifically, continuous low level or ‘slight’ tension results in overexposure to stress hormones, high blood pressure, and resulting mental and physical exhaustion.
