Why You Can't Focus at Work With ADHD

You sit down to start your most important task. Your brain suddenly feels like a frozen computer screen. It is not because you are lazy. You are hitting an invisible wall that many ADHD brains know well.

What is it?

Focus at work is the ability to direct your brain's energy toward a specific goal. For those with ADHD, this is not a lack of willpower. It is a struggle with how the brain manages interest and energy.

Signs & Symptoms

Staring at a blank screen for an hour without typing a word
Feeling physically stuck even though you want to start working
Jumping between five different tabs without finishing one task

Why does this happen?

Your brain's reward center uses a chemical called dopamine. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels are often lower. This makes it hard for your prefrontal cortex to stay awake during boring tasks. Your brain is not broken. It is simply searching for the stimulation it needs to function.

The Action Plan

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

The Five Minute Rule

5m

Commit to working on only one tiny task for just five minutes.

2

Clear the Visual Clutter

2m

Clear everything off your desk except what you need for this one task.

3

Physical Reset

3m

Stand up and stretch to get blood flowing to your brain.

Stop fighting your brain.
