Huberman Lab · Accelerate Learning & Increase Cognitive Capacity | Dr. Tommy Wood · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

I'll usually switch over to something else, which is also kind of a normal, it's one of a possible set of patterns of work, which is that you have two or three projects you're working on at any given time.

If one just isn't quite working, then you can switch over to the other one and come back to it.

And then the alternative is that when the deadline is so close,

And this often happens with a grant deadline or when I was writing my book and there's a book deadline and I've got to get this to my editor in however many days or hours.

I tend to just not need to eliminate those things because I'll just focus in.

I don't feel that kind of draw to be distracted by other things.

But that usually only happens for relatively short periods of time, right?

It's going to be a day or two or hours during a day rather than extended periods of time.

There could be some benefit to that as well, right?

Because there's

you know, without kind of building that in, and I don't routinely meditate, but unless you have some part of your day where actually you're not

either putting in information, distracting yourself, thinking about a specific thing, right?

You don't necessarily get that time to integrate.

You know, that's kind of, you know, the classic is you come up with your best ideas in the shower, right?

Because that's actually the time when you don't have your phone on you and you're not watching TV and you're not doing all these other things, you know, at the same time.

So maybe, yes, that's not what meditation is formally for, but it could potentially be beneficial if your mind's gonna wander,

So making new connections, coming up with new ideas, having that space and time to do it could potentially be beneficial too.

Most interventions in the sort of cognitive and psychological space are focused on some version of the Mediterranean diet.

There's the MIND diet, Mediterranean intervention to prevent neurodegenerative delay.

It came out of the Rush Memory and Aging Project.
