What is it?

Boredom in ADHD is a state of chronic under-stimulation. It happens when your nervous system is not getting enough input to stay awake and alert.

Signs & Symptoms

A restless, itchy feeling in your body
Extreme irritability when doing simple tasks
Searching for snacks or scrolling even when not hungry

Why does this happen?

The ADHD brain has lower levels of dopamine. This chemical helps your prefrontal cortex regulate focus. When a task is not exciting, your dopamine drops too low. Your brain then enters an emergency power saving mode to cope.

The Action Plan

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

Physical Reset

1m

Stand up and shake your arms or jump for thirty seconds.

2

Dopamine Snack

3m

Listen to one high energy song that you love.

3

Micro Task

1m

Pick one tiny thing to do, like picking up one sock.

Stop fighting your brain.
