Stop Waiting for Monday: Reprogram Your Brain to Beat Procrastination

In this episode, host, Yayoi Komiyama and guest Stella Tokar explore the roots of procrastination, explaining how fear and the amygdala can override the prefrontal cortex and how neuroplasticity lets you reprogram habits.

They share practical strategies—tiny rituals, pattern interrupts like "killing the ants," the WHOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan) model, and celebrating small wins—to build lasting routines and reduce decision fatigue.

Stella offers real-life tips for morning and evening rituals, setting boundaries, and staying consistent so listeners can stop waiting for Monday and start making progress today.
