What is it?

This state is known as executive dysfunction. It occurs when the command center of your brain cannot organize the steps needed for daily life. It is not a lack of willpower, it is a management problem in the brain.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling physically unable to get off the couch
Staring at a mess but not knowing where to start
Forgetting to eat or drink until you are in pain

Why does this happen?

The Prefrontal Cortex is the brain's manager. In ADHD brains, this area has lower levels of dopamine. Without enough dopamine, the 'Start' button does not work correctly. Your Amygdala may also see simple chores as a threat, which causes your body to freeze in place.

The Action Plan

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

Hydrate first

2m

Drink one glass of water to give your brain basic fuel.

2

The One-Item Sweep

1m

Pick up exactly one piece of trash or one clothing item.

3

Change the sensory input

3m

Put on a bright light or play an upbeat song to wake up your dopamine.

Stop fighting your brain.
