In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain the biological mechanism behind <a href="https://www.hubermanlab.com/topics/adhd-drive-and-motivation">motivation and drive</a>, as well as discuss practical tools for overcoming procrastination. I discuss the key role dopamine plays in driving cravings and motivating action. I explain how dopamine regulates the balance between pleasure and pain, and what happens when this system becomes dysregulated, leading to addiction. I discuss the role of molecules like serotonin, which help enhance the enjoyment of the present, and explain how to balance the drive for more while staying focused in the present. I also discuss the causes of procrastination and describe strategies to boost dopamine levels through behavioral approaches or supplements. <a href="https://www.hubermanlab.com/essentials">Huberman Lab Essentials</a> are short episodes (approximately 30 minutes) focused on essential science and protocol takeaways from past Huberman Lab episodes.
