What to Do With Longer Days

Your brain knows it’s summer. The question is: are you working with the season, or ignoring it? As we approach the summer solstice and the longest days of the year, I’ve found myself wrestling with a simple question: What am I supposed to do with all this extra daylight? Modern life makes it possible to live almost exactly the same way in June that we do in January. But our brains evolved in a world of changing seasons, and health isn’t just about maintaining the same routines year-round... it’s also about learning to work with the conditions around us. In this episode, I explore: ☀️ How longer days influence our brains and circadian rhythms 🚶 Why small changes like morning light and evening walks can have outsized benefits 🧠 The tension between consistency and responsiveness 🌿 Why health may be less about optimization and more about restoring conditions our brains evolved to expect The goal isn’t to overhaul your life because it’s summer. It’s simply to leverage what summer is already giving you. #NextDoorNeuro #Neuroscience #BrainHealth #CircadianRhythm #SummerSolstice #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Walking #Nature #HealthyHabits

How to Stop Living on Autopilot

Over the last few months, I’ve had conversations with neuroscientists, addiction specialists, leadership coaches, outdoor educators, adventurers, and podcasters. On the surface, they were all talking about different things. But the more I reflected on those conversations, the more I realized they were all pointing toward the same idea: The quality of our lives is shaped less by our intentions than by our defaults. Why do we instinctively reach for our phones? Why do we fall into habits we know aren’t serving us? And why do so many of us feel drawn to the novelty of nature, adventure, and deeper human connection? In this season recap episode of Next Door Neuro, I explore the common thread running through this year’s conversations: the importance of intentionality in a world increasingly designed to run us on autopilot. Drawing on insights from guests including outdoor educator Sarah Nielsen, Erica Mallery - coach and mentor for those looking to improve their relationship with alcohol, leadership coach Marcy Stoudt, adventurer Richard Campbell, and podcaster Dawn Wecker, I unpack what it means to pay attention, build better defaults, and create a life that reflects who we actually want to be. Because the most important question we should be asking isn’t “How can I optimize my life?” It’s simply: “Is this the way I want to live?” If you enjoy conversations about neuroscience, behavior change, mental health, human connection, and what it means to thrive in the modern world, I’d love to have you along for the journey.

Why Our Best Ideas Don't Happen at Our Desks | Lab Notes

Why do some of our best ideas happen in the shower? Or on a walk? Or during a drive? Or while we're doing something completely unrelated to the problem we're trying to solve? In this episode of Next Door Neuro - Lab Notes, I explore a fascinating creativity study from researchers at UC Santa Barbara that challenged a common assumption: When we're stuck, most of us instinctively try to work harder. We stay at our desks longer. Think more. Push harder. But what if that's exactly the wrong approach? In this study, participants worked on a creative problem-solving task and were then assigned to different groups. 1. Some kept working. 2. Some rested. 3. Some completed a mentally demanding task. 4. And one group completed a simple, low-demand task that allowed their minds to wander. Then all the groups went back to the creative problems they had been working on to start. The result? The mind-wandering group improved their creativity scores by roughly 40%. Not because they were consciously thinking harder about the problem. But because stepping away appeared to give the brain room to continue processing information in the background. In this episode, I explore: • The surprising findings from the study   • Why mind wandering may support creativity and insight   • What happens when we continuously fill every empty moment with stimulation   • How modern life may be reducing opportunities for our brains to do some of their best thinking   • A simple strategy for approaching difficult problems more effectively Importantly: This isn't an argument against podcasts, music, technology, entertainment, or any other kind of stimulation. It's a reminder that the brain may benefit from occasional periods of quiet. Because sometimes the most productive thing you can do isn't to keep pushing. It's to create enough space for your mind to wander. — Check out the full study here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22941876/ Baird B, Smallwood J, Mrazek MD, Kam JW, Franklin MS, Schooler JW.

We Are Not Machines | Lab Notes

Why do so many of us feel like we're constantly falling behind? Why does slowing down feel uncomfortable? And why do we often judge ourselves for needing rest, recovery, or space? In this episode of Next Door Neuro - Lab Notes, I explore an idea that has been sticking with me since my conversation with productivity coach Emily Guerra: Many of us are treating ourselves like machines. And increasingly, modern life is training us to do exactly that. More hours. More output. More optimization. More efficiency. More productivity. But humans aren't factories, and brains don't work like industrial machines. Our attention fluctuates, our motivation shifts, our energy changes, our creativity ebbs and flows... and recovery following a period of output matters. In this episode, I explore: • Why modern culture increasingly equates productivity with value   • How hustle culture shapes our expectations of ourselves   • Why humans evolved in rhythms of effort and recovery   • How productivity slowly becomes identity   • Why many of us expect things from ourselves we'd never expect from another person   • And why thriving may require reconnecting with our biological rhythms Importantly, this isn't about lowering your standards... It's about recognizing that sustainable performance requires recovery. Because we are biological organisms, not industrial machines. — Timestamps: 01:30 – Modern life rewards output 02:00 – Brains aren't factories 02:35 – Humans function in rhythms 03:23 – Productivity becomes identity 03:48 – Expectations we'd never place on others 04:20 – We are biological organisms

Why Rest Feels Wrong | Lab Notes

Why does slowing down sometimes feel uncomfortable… even when we know we need it?  Why do so many of us feel guilty resting? And why do moments that should feel restorative feel like we’re falling behind? In this episode of Next Door Neuro - Lab Notes, I explore something I’m still actively working on myself: I don’t rest well. Despite spending years studying neuroscience, stress, recovery, burnout, sleep, and performance… there is still a part of me that feels like slowing down means losing opportunities. And I know I’m not alone. Many of us grew up watching people we admired constantly work. We celebrate busyness, exhaustion, grinding... we say: “Hustle harder.” “I’ll sleep when I’m dead.” But increasingly, I wonder: what if many of us have been trained to associate rest with falling behind? In this episode, I explore: • Why guilt around rest is often social conditioning • How hustle culture shapes our beliefs about productivity and worth • Why humans evolved in natural cycles of effort and recovery • How recovery supports learning, creativity, emotional regulation, and sustainable performance • Why slowing down can feel uncomfortable, and why noticing that matters Importantly: this isn’t about doing less, it’s about learning how to recover better. Because recovery isn’t falling behind! Recovery supports thriving. — Timestamps: 01:51 – Rest guilt is conditioned 02:06 – We celebrate exhaustion 03:46 – Humans evolved in rhythms 04:13 – Recovery supports performance 05:27 – Recovery isn’t falling behind 06:36 – Notice the guilt
