Brendan O'Connor · Neurologist: “Procrastination is a tug-of-war between parts of your brain” · 18 Apr 2026 podcast

It's not distinguishing that actually, you know, it's not really going to.

In fact, it will damage you.

But, you know, if you don't deliver what you're supposed to do or whatever in terms of maybe fines or or whatever, but your brain isn't really operating from that perspective.

It's trying to save you in the in the moment.

So you really have to pull yourself out from that.

So shrink the task.

So big, vague goals, you know, they really breed avoidance.

So break it down.

So I have to do that, like writing a book.

Oh, my God.

You kind of go, oh, my God.

So break it down into, you know, whether even a chapter can be too big for me.

So I kind of might say, well, look, I'll try and write X number of words in the next hour or I'll cover that topic.

So break tiny wins, actually then activate your reward system.

So you feel good about it.

So you kind of it's easy or easier and you're more motivated to do the next little bit.

So really break things down into small tasks.

And then.

Also, visualisation comes into it.

You know, if you visualise yourself benefiting from the action that you're putting off.
