Dopamine to Avoid Procrastination and Boost Motivation

Struggling with procrastination or maintaining motivation? Motivated for the things you LOVE doing but not so much for the things that you know NEED doing?

That’s me in a nutshell. I struggle when it comes to staying motivated and avoiding procrastination around the things I know I NEED to do to but don’t LOVE to do. Getting on top of these things is what really helps us make progress toward those big big goals in life.

Ever wonder why you feel motivated sometimes but not others? To me it’s always felt very mysterious. I’m always curious about how things work, but motivation always felt beyond understanding to me.

A recent podcast episode from Andrew Huberman gave me some real insight into some practical ways we can leverage our own biology to overcome procrastination and optimize effort.

According to Andrew the key to breaking free from these obstacles might lie in understanding and managing dopamine, a neurotransmitter responsible for motivation, pleasure, and reward. In this blog post, we'll explore some strategies I learned from Andrew that should help you harness dopamine fluctuations to overcome procrastination and stay motivated even for those things you don’t like doing.
