Huberman has an episode explaining the brain workings of procrastination. Give it a watch/listen to pick up a few tips.

Almost 2h? I can't focus that long. Let me know once it's available as a 30 seconds tiktok.

You're potentially insulting the reader who was looking for answers to the question.

My experience has been opposite of Hubermans tips.

I find dopamine spiking activities, or putting a body in a state of discomfort (eg intense work out, cold showers) make me procrastinate more.

Doing an intense work out makes me think “I’m done for the day, I have done enough, I deserve a break from whatever I’m procrastinating on”.

Huberman is the man. He's also got an episode specifically on ADHD which OP may find valuable.

Unless you go there for advice on health and sports performance, for which he dissminates much bullshit.

I can't believe how much BS you can spit under the name of "science" and none will call you out as long as you say you are a doctor/scientist.

He is almost on par with bro-science fitness youtubers.

example? everything he says seems to be well sourced or cited from other experts in their fields, or if its only few studies and not well researched enough yet he explicitly says so. I keep hearing this claim from ppl but nobody can come up with any examples.

[nosefurhairdo]

Have any examples?

Thank you I'll (try to) give this a watch!
