We did that too. Even when you add table sugar to cereal, you’re probably not scooping on the 5 teaspoons of sugar that you get from one of those individual cups of Frosted Flakes. It’s outrageous how sweet they makes this stuff.

There’s lots of advice here, but I don’t think anyone has mentioned removing the distractions that pull your attention away. Phone, tv and video games are big ones for me. I have a rule that while i’m working on making a game, that I don’t regularly play other games, and it makes me much more productive. If you can stop yourself from doomscrolling, you’ll probably be more motivated to do all kinds of things.

It’s funny, I listened to Adrenaline first, decided it wasn’t for me and forgot about Deftones for a couple years. Finally listened to Saturday Night Wrist and loved it and literally every other Deftones album after that.

The differences in albums has been more subtle, but I thought what they did with Pink Cellphone and the instrumental only Konami Code were unique to their music.
