ADHD Concepts Guide

Why you feel like you can't get things done with ADHD

It feels like standing behind a thick glass wall. You know exactly what you need to do. You might even be shouting at yourself to just move. But your body stays frozen on the couch.

What is it?

This feeling is called executive dysfunction. It is a glitch in the brain system that handles planning and starting tasks. It makes simple chores feel as hard as climbing a mountain.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling physically unable to move even when you want to work
Losing hours to 'scrolling' while your mind screams at you to stop
Feeling overwhelmed by a single small task like doing the dishes

Why does this happen?

Your prefrontal cortex is the brain's CEO. It needs dopamine to spark action. ADHD brains have a hard time using dopamine. When a task is not exciting, your brain does not get the spark it needs to start. Your amygdala might even see the task as a threat, which makes you freeze in place.

The Action Plan

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

Forgive yourself

1m

The shame you feel actually makes the brain freeze worse.

2

Identify the smallest part

2m

Do not clean the kitchen, just pick up one spoon.

3

Add an external spark

5m

Put on a favorite song or a podcast to provide some easy dopamine.

Stop fighting your brain.
