Why You Feel Like You Can't Finish Tasks With ADHD

You start a project with huge energy and excitement. Suddenly, the spark disappears and the project sits half done for weeks. It feels like you hit an invisible wall right at the finish line. This is a very common experience for the ADHD brain.

What is it?

This is often called the 'Last Mile' struggle. It happens when your brain loses interest in a project before the physical work is actually done.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling a physical sense of dread when a task is 90 percent finished
Losing interest the moment you understand how to solve the problem
Finding it easier to start five new things than to finish one old one
The final details of a project feel much harder than the big beginning

Why does this happen?

Your prefrontal cortex relies on dopamine to keep you focused. When a task is new, your brain is flooded with dopamine. As you get close to the end, the novelty vanishes. Your dopamine levels drop. Without that chemical fuel, your brain treats the final details like a boring chore instead of an exciting mission.

The Action Plan

Try breaking down your next task like this to overcome the block:
1

Define the finish line

5m

Write down exactly what 'done' looks like so you do not keep adding more work.

2

Identify the boring bits

2m

List the final three small steps that feel the most annoying to complete.

3

The Sprint Finish

10m

Set a timer for ten minutes and race to finish those final steps as fast as possible.

Stop fighting your brain.
