What is it?

This state is called executive dysfunction or task paralysis. It is an internal shutdown that happens when your brain cannot decide where to start. It is not a lack of willpower, but a temporary breakdown in your brain's command center.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling physically stuck in one spot for hours
Extreme guilt while doing nothing
Mental fog that makes simple choices feel impossible
A racing heart when thinking about your to-do list

Why does this happen?

Your Prefrontal Cortex is the CEO of your brain. In an ADHD brain, this CEO has low levels of dopamine. When a task feels too big or boring, your Amygdala senses stress. It treats the task like a physical threat and triggers a freeze response.

The Action Plan

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

Wiggle your toes

1m

Start with a tiny physical movement to tell your brain you are safe.

2

Drink cold water

2m

A sensory shock can help reset your nervous system quickly.

3

Pick one 'Trash' task

5m

Do one thing poorly on purpose just to break the seal.

Stop fighting your brain.
