Don't worry, that rule only applies to poor people!

.

More seriously, how long does it take to stop the dopamine high? Could we schedule our lives so that we would e.g. spend one month doing the most exciting things ever... followed by three days of meditation... which would make us ready for a few months of hard work... and then do it again?

You know, so that we are still productive at work, but don't have to sacrifice most of the joy in life to achieve that.
