Why You Can't Get Started on Anything With ADHD

You are sitting there. You want to move. But your body feels heavy. You know you have things to do. Yet you still feel stuck. It is not a lack of willpower. It is a brain block.

What is it?

This is a struggle with task initiation. It is the ability to just begin a project. For many, it is like a car with no starter motor. The engine is good, but the spark is missing.

Signs & Symptoms

The feeling of an invisible wall in front of you
Feeling extreme guilt while you sit still
Overthinking the first step until it feels huge
Brain fog when you look at a simple to-do list

Why does this happen?

Your prefrontal cortex handles the doing part of life. It needs dopamine to pass messages between cells. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels can be low. This makes simple tasks feel like climbing a mountain. Your amygdala might also see the task as a threat. This triggers a freeze response in your nervous system.

The Action Plan

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

Lower the Bar

2m

Pick one tiny task and ignore everything else on your list.

2

Change Your State

1m

Stand up and stretch or drink a glass of cold water.

3

The Micro Start

5m

Do only the very first physical movement required for the task.

Stop fighting your brain.
