ADHD: How to Stay on Task Without the Struggle
You are not lazy or unmotivated. You are likely dealing with a brain that craves high stimulation. Staying on task feels hard because your brain is built for variety. We can help you find a way through that invisible wall.
What is it?
Staying on task requires a skill called executive function. This is like a conductor leading an orchestra. In an ADHD brain, the conductor is often distracted or waiting for better music. This makes it hard to start or finish things that feel boring.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your prefrontal cortex needs dopamine to stay engaged. This part of the brain manages your focus. If a task is not new or scary, your dopamine levels drop. Your brain then enters a 'freeze' state to protect itself from boredom.
The Action Plan
Clear the deck
Remove anything from your desk that is not the one task.
The five minute rule

Add some 'brain candy'
Listen to lo-fi music or use a fidget toy to keep your brain happy.
