This monologue podcast, "PsychHacks," focuses on behavioral change and overcoming procrastination. Dr. Orion Taraban argues that the battle for behavioral change is often won or lost in a crucial 10-second window before acting. He advises against questioning whether you "feel like" doing a committed task, emphasizing consistent action regardless of feelings. The podcast offers practical strategies, such as making good habits easier and bad habits more inconvenient (e.g., storing video games out of sight to reduce impulsive playing), and visualizing long-term consequences to maintain motivation. Listeners are encouraged to consider how structuring their environment can influence their actions and to anticipate challenges in their behavioral change journey.
